"T)AVID ROWLAND FRANCIS, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition 
• Company, and ex-officio Chairman of the Executive Committee of the corporation 
which constructed the World's Fair, now being held in St. Louis, was born at Rich- 
mond, Madison County, Kentucky, October 1st, 1850. His father, John B. Francis, was 
a descendant of a prominent Virginia family and a polished gentleman of the old 
Southern type. 

The founders of the family in Kentucky were pioneer settlers, and the grand- 
father of David R. was a soldier in the war of 1812. His mother, Eliza Caldwell Row- 
land, was a descendant of David Irvine, of Lynchburg, Virginia, whose ten daughters 
<^-(\ were among the most distinguished of the pioneer women of Kentucky, and left their 
v"' impress upon the history and social characteristics of the State The Irvine's were of 
honorable Scotch lineage, and its representatives were among the earliest colonists of 
Virginia. 

David R. Francis inherited the physical and mental qualities of his sturdy ances- 
try. His primary education was received at Richmond Academy, in his native town 
Removing to St. Louis in 1866, he entered Washington University and was graduated 
in the class of 1870. He immediately entered commercial life, and for the next five 
years was employed as shipping clerk and in other capacities by a wholesale grocery 
house. In 1877 he engaged in the grain business on his own account,

He gave much thought to, and in a most efficient 
manner promoted, the cause of public education, particularly aiding the State Univer- 
sity and elevating its standard and exalting its reputation to its present renown. 

Retiring from office at the close of his gubernatorial term, Governor Francis re- 
sumed his business affairs with his former enterprise and success. In 1896 he was 
called by President Cleveland to his Cabinet as Secretary of the Interior, and immedi- 
ately brought into this larger public service the energy and thoughtfulness he dis- 
played in lesser public stations and in his private business. 

In the course of an exceedingly busy life he has found time to solve the problems 
of government and also educate himself in art, literature and science, and few men of 
his age are possessed of as many and varied accomplishments. He is an attractive pub- 
lic speaker, is entirely democratic in his tastes and has a natural and charming per- 
sonality. 

When the World's Fair enterprise came to be considered, by common consent and 
absolute unanimity Governor Francis was called on to head the gigantic enterprise. 
He accepted the commission and entered upon the work with a zeal and determination 
that were infectious and gave inspiration to his lieutenants. He devotes, entirely with- 
out compensation, nearly all his time to the World's Fair work, and has organized it so 
thoroughly and systematically that its success is already assured.

UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION, ST. LOUIS, 1904. 

OPENS APRIL 30, 1904. CLOSES DECEMBER 1, 1904. 

Greatest World's Fair in History — "Processes Rather Than Products." 

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, or World's Fair of 1904 at St. 
Louis, will be the greatest Exposition in the history of the world. 
Not only is its area the most expansive ever included within exposi- 
tion fences, not only is the amount of money expended the largest 
ever available to an exposition, not only is the space for exhibits the 
greatest ever under exposition roofs, but the very keynote of the Ex- 
position — /'Processes rather than Products" — is a distinct develop- 
ment in expositions. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition will elimin- 
ate the time-honored pyramdi of tomato cans and show instead how 
tomato cans are made and rilled with the pulpy vegetable. Instead of 
show cases rilled with finished shoes, men and machines will be shown 
in the act of manufacturing shoes. 

The World's Fair of 1904 occupies 1,240 acres. The World's Co- 
lumbian Exposition at Chicago covered 633 acres; that at Paris in 
1900, 336 acres; the Pan-American at Buffalo, 300 acres; the Centen- 
nial at Philadelphia, 236 acres; and the Trans-Mississippi at Omaha, 
150 acres. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition therefore covers an 
area almost equal to the aggregate of the Columbian, the Centennial, 
the Pan-American and the Trans-Mississippi expositions. 

The architecture of this Universal Exposition is majestic in the 
great Ivory White Exhibit Palaces, historical in the foreign and State 
buildings, all-world and unique in concession structures. 

The Palaces are the varied productions of the leading architects 
of the United States, designed in a chaste, harmonious scheme by these 
architects assembled as a commission. The style adopted by the Com- 
mission is described as "a free treatment of the Renaissance." Ac- 
cording to dictionaries "Renaissance" is the style which succeeded the 
mediaeval, and was based upon study and emulation of the forms and 
ornaments of the classic architecture of Greece and Rome. One of 
the architects of the Commission defines the use of the term, "as a 
carte blanche to the architects to produce a beautiful effect by the use 
of any architectural device that ever gladdened human eyes, from the 
pediment and peristyle of the Parthenon to the minaret and dome of 
the Taj Mahal." 

_ The main exhibit palaces at St. Louis have under roof 128 acres. 
Chicago had eighty-two acres, Buffalo fifteen and Omaha nine. In for- 
mer expositions outdoor exhibits cut little figure. At St. Louis these 
exhibits cover 100 acres, including the mining gulch, the steam shovel 
show, the model city, the mammoth bird cage, the sea coast bat- 
tery, etc. 

The living, moving, operative exhibits take more space indoors 
and more room outdoors than does the still exposition. 

Upwards of 500 distinct buildings make up the Exposition in St. 
Louis. Almost every State erects a club house, almost every foreign 
nation a pavilion. Some of the concessions will contain as many as 
twenty separate structures. Fifteen of the exposition buildings are 
giants, as is shown in the dimensions. These buildings form a beau- 
tiful fan-shaped picture. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



FESTIVAL HALL. 

Festival Hall, the biggest auditorium on the World's Fair 
grounds, stands just in front of the Art Palace at the head of the 
main cascade, on the top of Cascade Hill, at the center from which the 
avenues of the Exposition's main picture radiate like the ribs of a fan. 
It is one of the most ornate buildings on the Fair grounds, although 
it is small compared to the big Exhibit buildings. The appropriation 
for it was. 250,000. Its architect is Cass Gilbert, of New York and St. 
Paul, who was also the architect of the Art Palace. The dome, which 
will crown Festival Hall, will be the largest on earth, 165 feet in diam- 
eter, excelling in size those of St. Peter's Cathedral and the Pan- 
theon, at Rome. These have hitherto been the largest domes in the 
world. 

Festival Hall is a circle with a large oblong rectangle at its south- 
ern end. The circle has a diameter of 195 feet. The rectangular oblong 
is 250 feet long and 64 feet wide. It is intended that this oblong 
shall contain the stage and the accessory dressing rooms. The gigantic 
dome is topped by a seated sculptured figure. Below the dome is a 
large cylindrical drum two stories high. The upper story is pierced 
by a row of oeil de boeuf, or "bull's-eye" windows. Below the drum 
a beautiful engaged Ionic colonnade, 42^2 feet high, surrounds the 
building. 

The rectangular construction at the back of Festival Hall joins 
perfectly to the decorative screen or Colonnade of States, which runs 
in quadrants to the east and west. The columns of this screen are only 
34 feet high, but are in perfect harmony with those of Festival Hall. 

The total height of the building is 190 feet. The interior of the 
hall was designed by Chief-of-Design E. L. Masqueray. It is beauti- 
fully finished like a first-class theater, with extensive balconies. It 
seats 3,500 and contains the largest organ on earth. 

The Department of Music of the Exposition has charge of the 
structure during the Fair. High-class concerts and great operatic per- 
formances will be given within it. 

THE CASCADES. 

The focal point of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is a compo- 
sition made up of three big cascades, the largest in the world; the 
Colonnade of States, an ornamental screen of Ionic columns forming 
a background for 14 statues, each symbolical of one of the states or 
territories in the purchase; three highly ornate buildings, including 
Festival Hall in the center and two ornate restaurant pavilions at 
either end. Added to this and filling in the picture are lawns, gardens, 
flower beds, trees, vases, walks and approaches. 

No decorative feature of the Exposition has attracted so much 
attention throughout the world as the Cascade Gardens, nor does any 
other portion of the Fair approach it in grandeur. The dome of the 
Festival Hall, in the center of the peristyle, is much larger than that of 
St. Peter's, at Rome. It was designed by Cass Gilbert of New York. 
Restaurant pavilions, peristyle and cascades and the general scheme 
of the Grand Basin was done by Mr. E. L. Masqueray, Chief of Design 
of the Exposition. 

The statues which will ornament the approaches to the cascades 
will represent famous characters in American history. Marquette, 
Joliet, Lewis and Clarke, De Soto and Laclede will appear in the ap- 
proach to the eastern cascade. Keokuk, Robert Livingston, James 
Monroe, Franklin, Hamilton, Narvaez, Boone and Sitting Bull appear 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY OUJDE. 



in the approach to the western cascade. These side cascades symbolize 
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. 

On the center fountain at the head of the main cascade, in front 
of Festival Hall, will appear a gigantic statue of Liberty raising the 
veil of Ignorance and protecting Truth and Justice. The entire stretch 
of the gardens will be 1,900 feet wide by 1,100 feet in depth as they 
recede from the edge of the Grand Basin. The main or center cascade 
is 290 feet long and the two side cascades each 300 feet long. The 
approaches to each cascade will be each 390 feet long. The paths 
beside the Grand Basin will be 50 feet wide. 

Sculpture for the main cascade will be designed by H. H. McNeil 
and that for the side cascades by Isadore Konti. The open space be- 
tween the cascades will be parked in lawn with borders of flowers, 
which will change with the seasons during the. Exposition period. 
Jets of water along the sides of the cascades will be thrown 100 feet. 
Under the main cascade, where the water takes its deepest plunge, 
will be a subterranean grotto, beautifully lighted, supplying a view of 
the tumbling waters of the cascade through three big arcaded open- 
ings. Here refreshments will be served amid the coolness induced by 
the curtain or veil of water which forms one side of the grotto. 

Festival Hall at the head of the center cascade will be the largest 
auditorium on the Exposition grounds. It will seat 3,500 persons and 
contain the largest organ on e'arth. 




EDUCATION BUILDING. 

The Education Building of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is 
of the Corinthian order of architecture. It is situated to the left of 
the main lagoon, and this and the Electricity Building are the only 
two buildings facing the Grand Basin with the cascades and ap- 
proaches to the terrace crowning the hill, on which the Art Building 
stands. While not the largest in area, its position makes it one of the 
most conspicuous buildings in what has been called the main picture 
of the Exposition. Eames & Young, of St. Louis, are the architects 
of the structure. 

The building fronts 525 feet on the main thoroughfare of the Ex- 
position. The principal entrances are on the axes of the building, 
and somewhat resemble the well-known form of the triumphal arch. 
At each angle of the building is a pavilion, forming a supplementary 
entrance, and these are connected by a colonnade of monumental pro- 
portions. The four elevations are similar in character, varying only 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



as required to accommodate the design to the irregular shape of the 
ground plan. A liberal use of architectural sculpture lends a festal 
character to the otherwise somewhat severely classical exterior. The 
screen wall back of the colonnade gives opportunity for a liberal dis- 
play of color as a background for the classic outlines of the Corin- 
thian columns, affording liberal scope for the mural decorator. The 
interior court follows the general outline of the building in form and 
style, and is laid out in the form of a plaisance or garden of a formal 
type. It is also suggested that this building, the roof of which is prac- 
tically on a level with the terrace of the Art Building, could be suc- 
cessfully utilized as a promenade, with a roof garden and restaurant 
attachment. 

The contract price of the Education Building was $319,399, and 
its builder was Jno. J. Dunnavant & Co. It was completed by Dedi- 
cation Day, was occupied at that time by the U. S. regular troops and 
later was used as a sculpture shop. 

Howard J. Rogers, Chief of the Department of Education, has 
charge of the exhibits to be placed in this building. 




MINES AND METALLURGY BUILDING. 

The Mines and Metallurgy Building forms part of the east wing of 
the fan-like general ground plan of the Exposition. The outside di- 
mensions are 525x750 feet. The building is divided into eight oblong 
parts almost equal in area. The division is accomplished with glass- 
covered and ventilated arcades, from 30 to 50 feet wide, which makes 
it possible that each one of the eight divisions shall receive abundant 
light from every side and that no skylights shall be necessary directly 
over any of the exhibition spaces. At the intersection of the two 
principal arcades through the main axis a colonnaded rotunda is 
shown with an appropriate monument. 

The ground floor will furnish an exhibition space of about 265,000 
square feet and about 150,000 square feet may be gained by the intro- 
duction of galleries. A sub-division of the exhibit space into numerous 
alcoves for each classification is suggested. The walls of the building 
are set back from the facade 18 or 20 feet, forming a covered loggia 
which surrounds the entire building. Mr. Theo. C. Link, of St. Louis, 
was the architect. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. 

The Administration Building at the World's Fair, St. Louis, is the 
principal structure of eleven new buildings known as the Washington 
University group, which is to be the permanent home of the university- 
after the close of the Exposition. All are in the Tudor Gothic style of 
architecture as exemplified in the college buildings of England of the 
time of Henry VIII. and Queen Elizabeth. The Administration Build- 
ing is 325x118 feet, and has in the center a massive tower J J feet high, 
topped by four octagon towers, one at each corner. The doorway 
in the tower is a magnificent arch. The facade of the tower is elab- 
orately ornamented with canopied niches and with strong courses, on 
which appear the heraldic shield bearing the university coat of arms. 
In front of the entrance is a terrace 50x264 feet and leading up to the 
terrace are steps of cut granite 35 feet wide. The building is of pink 
Missouri granite, with Bedford (Indiana) limestone trimmings, cost 
$250,000, and is fireproof throughout. 




President Francis and Secretary Stevens have offices in the build- 
ing, and so has the National Commission. The Board of Lady Man- 
agers and the Missouri Commission will also be located there until their 
respective buildings are completed. The Division of Exhibits and 
Division of Exploitation take up a large part of the building and the 
Department of Concessions occupies one of the big office rooms. 

The rooms of two large buildings adjoining — Busch Building and 
Cupples Building No. 1— are also used for the administration work 
of the Exposition.

U. S. GOVERNMENT BUILDING. 

The United States Government Building, designed by James Knox 
Taylor, Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, will be 
situated on the high ground to the southeast of the Mines and Metal- 
lurgy Building, and at the head of the Grand Avenue between that 
building and the Liberal Arts Building. The approaches will be of a 
monumental character, in keeping with the building itself. Access to 
the central pavilion will be by a great flight of steps ioo feet wide 
adorned with statues. A platform 45x125 feet, with an exedra at 
either end, will be situated in the center of the flight. Two smaller 
flights 50 feet wide, also adorned with statues, will give access to the 
end pavilion. Hamps 30 feet wide of a gentle incline will lead from 
the lower level of the Exposition grounds to the level of the Govern- 
ment Building. They will connect the main central flight of steps 
with the two smaller flights. The slope of the hill toward the Ex- 
position will be covered with and laid out in formal beds of herba- 
ceous flowers, clipped hedges and trimmed trees. The contract for 




the construction of the building was let October 14 to W. O. & .C. G. 
Burton on their bid of $268,980. The architect describes the building 
as follows: 

"The general style of the building will be the Pseudo Classic; 
somewhat less festive than the other Exposition buildings, but by its 
breadth of treatment and purity of detail will express its function — the 
Government Building. The main facade will be 764 feet in length with 
center and end pavilion connected with a colonnade of Ionic columns 
5 feet in diameter and 45 feet high. The central pavilion with the 
colonnade on either side will form a portico 15 feet wide and 524 feet 
long, 50 feet above the level of the general Exposition buildings, from 
which a beautiful view of the Exposition may be obtained. 

"An attic 15 feet in height, richly ornamented with statues, will 
surmount the Ionic order already described. The height from the 
bottom of the stylobate to the top of the attic will be 82 feet. The 
portico leading to the central pavilion will consist of free standing 
Ionic columns, while those of the end pavilions will be 'in Antis.' The 
center of the building will be surmounted by a dome 100 feet in diam- 
eter, similar in general character to the dome of the Pantheon at 
Rome. The top of the quadriga which surrounds it will be 175 feet

above the ground. Ample opportunities will be offered by the designer 
for sculptural adornment. The sculpture will be symbolical of the Re- 
public and the Arts of Peace. In general character the sculpture will 
be more restrained than has been the custom with Exposition work, 
violent action not being considered appropriate for plastic represen- 
tation. 

"The material used will be staff. The building in general will be 
white, with strong color treatment on the interior walls of the pa- 
vilions and colonnades. In plan the building will be rectangular with 
the projecting pavilions, already described, at either end. The inte- 
rior floor area will be 175 feet by 724 feet, entirely free of columns, 
the roof being carried with steel trusses 175 feet in span, 70 feet high 
and 35 feet apart. There will be no skylights, as the building will be 
lighted entirely by clear stories. The end facades will contain one 
central portico and will be 250 feet long. 

"On the longitudinal axis of the Government Building to the south- 
west will be situated the building for the United States Fish Commis- 
sion. It will be square in plan, 135 feet by 135 feet, and in general 
character will harmonize with its large neighbors."

THE ART PALACE. 

The Art Palace of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, now well on 
the way toward completion, differs in one important essential from the 
art buildings at Chicago and those at Paris. All the exhibits will be 
installed upon one floor — there will be no upstair galleries, no long 
staircases to ascend and descend. The authorities of the Depart- 
ment demanded the observation of four conditions in the planning 
of the Art Palace; first, that the galleries should be adequately lighted; 
second, that they should be well ventilated; third, that the buildings 
should be so arranged as to afford the free circulation of large numbers 
of visitors without danger of congestion, and, fourth, that the struc- 
tures should be fireproof. It is sincerely hoped that the architects 
to whom the task of designing the buildings was entrusted, will -ac- 
complish these desired results. 

The Art Palace is located upon a hill south of the main group of 
exhibit buildings and is entirely isolated from other exhibition struc- 
tures. It consists of four pavilions, the aggregate length of the front 
of which is 830 feet and the depth 450 feet. The central structure is of 
brick and stone and is permanent. The two side pavilions, which 
are temporary structures, are of brick, with decorative details in staff. 



12 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



In the rear of the Art Palace, provision is made for an elaborate system 
of decorative gardens, with fountains, flowers and ornamental shrub- 
bery. A special Pavilion is provided for Sculpture. Certain pieces 
of statuary appropriate to the position will be installed outdoors. In 
the immediate neighborhood of the Art Palace many large forest 
trees have been left standing, which will add much to the beauty of 
the general effect. The Art Palace contains one hundred and thirty- 
four sky-lighted galleries, a large court for the exhibition of sculpture 
and a number of side-lighted galleries, especially well adapted for 
the exhibition of works belonging to certain groups of the classifica- 
tion. For sculptural decoration as applied to architecture, there are 
special galleries opening into the sculpture court of the central pa- 
vilion, so that these exhibits, closely related both to sculpture and 
architecture, may be installed, practically, with both.

TRANSPORTATION BUILDING. 

The Transportation Building is 525x1,300 feet, being as wide as the 
Varied Industries Building, a short distance east, and 100 feet longer. 
To the south is the Machinery Building and on the north across 
Lindell avenue are some of the chief attractions of the "Pike." Skinker 
road separates the west end of the structure from the pavilions of 
Great Britain, Mexico and other foreign countries. The architect was 
Mr. E. L. Masqueray, the Exposition's Chief of Design, in the Division 
of Works. The distinguishing feature is the massing of three great 
entrance ways at each end so as to form an arcade, taking up almost 
the entire facade. Director of Works Taylor says of the structure: 

"The Transportation Building covers over 15 acres. The facades 
show a most pleasing adaptation of the French Renaissance. The 
building combines a feeling of the magnificent Exposition building 
and of the high-class railroad depot, which prevail on the European 
continent. These two essential elements are apparent throughout 
the structure. On the east and west fronts are three magnificent 
arches, which embrace more than half of the entire facade. Each of

the arched openings is 64 feet wide and 52 feet high. Through the 
archways 14 permanent railroad tracks will be laid from one end of 
the building to the other. At the sides of the three openings the pro- 
jecting angles are accentuated by tower or pylon effect, which reach 
to a height of 150 feet to the base of the crowning statue. The pylons 
are not so much accentuated as to be obtrusive, or out of harmony 
with the structure. The roof treatment of the building is peculiarly 
happy. Over each of the big archways is a lofty curve which sup- 
plies a background for the architectural features. 




MANUFACTURES BUILDING. 

The Manufactures Building, designed by Carrere & Hastings, of 
New York, is one of the leading structures in the big Exposition pic- 
ture. It is located symmetrically with the Varied Industries Building, 
and both are in the first view of the picture of lagoons, cascades and 
hanging gardens, which the visitor gets as he enters the grounds by 
the main entrance. Isaac S. Taylor, chairman of the Commission of 
Architects for the St. Louis World's Fair, writes as follows about the 
Manufactures Building: 

"It is a noble composition developed in the Corinthian order of 
architecture. It lies in the main picture, being one of the buildings on 
the entrance to the main boulevard or central spacing. The structure 
has a northern frontage of 1,200 feet, with a depth of 525 feet on the 
main boulevard. The architects have designed noble and imposing 
entrances at the centers of the main facades. A triumphal arch motive 
is designed at the entrance at the center angle of the north front. 

"The architects have arranged corner entrances into this building. 
Entrances at the corners of buildings are difficult to so design as to be 
in perfect harmony with the architecture of the building in general. 
Without skillful treatment such entrances would not be acceptable 
from an artistic standpoint, but such entrances as Carrere & Hastings 
supply will please both the layman and the expert. Graceful groups 
of sculpture will ornament and accentuate the four main entrances 
on the sides. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING. 

The Liberal Arts Building is built of staff. Its contract price was 
$475,000 and its builder the Kellermann Contracting Company. Al- 
though following the prevailing style of architecture of the Exposi- 
tion — the Renaissance — it adheres very closely to classic lines. The 
long facade, especially, shows a magnificent entrance, almost pure 
Corinthian. Here is what the architects, Barnett, Haynes & Barnett, 
say of their structure: 

"The style of architecture is a severe treatment of the French 
Renaissance for the exterior facades. In fact, the treatment embodies 
rather a feeling of the classic than of the renaissance. It has been 
the endeavor of the architects to depend largely on sculpture in the 
decoration of the building, refraining from the over-use of stereo- 
typed architectural ornamentation. The main facade is 750 feet long 
and is made interesting by the use of a central pavilion and of two 
end pavilions. The center pavilion is brought somewhat above the 
connecting buildings, which unite it with the pavilions on either side. 
Each of the three pavilions, on the fronts, forms an elegant entrance 
to the building. 




"On the main facade are three entrances and on the 525-foot fa- 
cades are two entrances, one in each of the end pavilions. The main 
entrance is in the form of a hemi-cycle with circular colonnades. The 
ceiling of this hemi-cycle is frescoed on a background of old gold. 
The decorations and ornaments are brought out in relief. In the 
loggias of the building are mural frescoes on old gold backgrounds, 
which add subdued color to the picture." 

It was in this building that the Saengerfest of the North Ameri- 
can Saengerbund last June was held. 

"The architects have developed a most skillful arrangement of the 
roof lines. They give light and ventilation and at the same time avoid 
the extensive and troublesome skylights frequently used on struc- 
tures of this kind. The design of the facades of the building employs 
the open colonnade treatment, which is very acceptable in a climate 
like that of St. Louis. This affords both a passageway for visitors 
and offers the shadow relief that will enhance the beauty of the 
design.

VARIED INDUSTRIES BUILDING. 

The Varied Industries Building is a magnificent structure on the 
outer perimeter of the main picture of the Fair. The building pre- 
sents a facade of 1,200 feet on the north and south and 525 feet on the 
east and west, giving 656,250 feet of exhibition space all on the ground 
floor. In the center of the north facade is a low dome flanked by 
towers about 200 feet high. These towering features afford ample 
space for electrical display and illumination. Numerous entrances are 
on the facades, exclusive of the main entrance in the center. 

A specially featured entrance is made at the center of the south 
facade, a magnificent circular colonnade being thrown out in front 
of it. A considerable portion of one of the two large courts will be 
taken up with exhibits from .Germany. 




Van Brunt & Howe, of Kansas City, were the architects, and the 
Rountree Construction Company erected the building at a cost of 
about $650,000. It was practically completed Dedication Day, April 
30, 1903, and was occupied by the members of the National Guard, who 
picketed the grounds and participated in the Military Parade on that 
occasion. The building houses exhibits of manufacturing processes 
and of manufactures. Milan H. Hulbert, Chief of the Department of 
Manufactures, has charge of the exhibits in the structure. 

Germany excels in industrial arts of every kind. France sent jewelry, 
silverware, bronzes, pottery, costumes, millinery, etc. Japan exhibits a 
fine collection of porcelain, pottery, carved ivory and wood, lacquer work, 
embroideries and silk. Here as well as in the Palace of Manufactures' 
the various industries appear not only in the form of finished products,' 
but are exemplified by workshops which produce the finest specimens on 
the ground. The appliances and processes for making jewelry, the pro- 
cess of diamond selection and cutting, of engraving on fine stones, of 
watch and clock manufacture, and many other equipments and processes 
are shown.

ELECTRICITY BUILDING. 

The Electricity Building was erected by the William Goldie Sons 
Company, the contract price being $399,940. The structure was planned 
by Walker & Kimball, of Boston and Omaha, who were chief archi- 
tects of the Omaha Exposition. It is located on the main central 
avenue and forms one of the leading elements of the main Exposition 
picture. It has a frontage of 650 feet toward the north and 525 feet 
toward the east, facing the main lagoon. 

The design is a bold columnated treatment of the Corinthian 
order. The columns are carried well down toward the ground, to give 
height to the facades. The latter are well accentuated by .elevated 
pediments and tower effects over the four main entrances and at the 




corners. Over the accentuated places, as well as over the twin col- 
umns, which form a pleasing variation of the treatment of the facades, 
opportunity for ample sculptural decoration is supplied. 

The fenestration is bold and appropriate, giving ample light and 
substantial wall treatment. On two sides of the building are loggias 
which add pleasing effects of light and shadow. There are numerous 
openings on the facades, such as exhibitors always seek in selecting 
their exhibit space. The plan of the building is simple and well 
treated, showing an effort to supply as much exhibit space as is pos- 
sible with the 292,000 square feet of floor space. The exhibit space is 
compact and symmetrical. An extensive balcony sweeps around four 
sides of the building, supplying 100,000 square feet of additional space.

MACHINERY BUILDING. 

The Machinery Building for the St. Louis World's Fair cost about 
$500,000. The building's main dimensions are 525 feet by 1,000 feet. 
It is served by a gigantic traveling crane, and by two tracks of rail- 
way running through the building from east to west. 

The ground allotted for the building is of peculiar shape, viz., 
a large parallelogram with a huge corner piece cut out of the south- 
east angle. Widmann, Walsh & Boisselier, of St. Louis, the architects,. 
have furnished the following statement in regard to the structure: 

"In a building of this immense magnitude it behooves the designer 
to apply symmetrical treatment whenever feasible, and we have, there- 
fore, designed the four facades subservient to this principle. In the 
south front towards the hill, the main entrance shows a triple arcade 
have formed on each of these axes a cross aisle and nave of eighty feet 
has an arcade of seven arches as a center feature. The two axes of 
these central features are 160 feet apart, and in our ground plan we 
have formed on each of these axes a cross-aisle and nave of eighty feet 
in width. These two aisles are connected by a lower room, with 
lantern light above. 



"The east facade shows a comparatively low building centered 
by two gables and smaller entrance feature. The re-entering angle on 
the southwest corner is very interesting in its development. The 
other corner features are each made with a triumphal arch entrance 
taken from the principal motif, with two of the principal pavilions 
in the line of the facades. As a land mark we have used two large 
towers, raised in the center of the immense main aisle of the structure, 
and immediately back of the large arcade feature of the north facade. 
The towers are safely built upon massive piers and form a magnificent 
corner turning feature in the general complex of exposition buildings, 
the Machinery Building being the end one of the main group. 

"The plan has been arranged with special reference to the ad- 
mission of daylight, which enters, through clerestory windows, all 
the principal aisles. These windows afford ample ventilation and are 
intended to be readily accessible for opening.

9 a. m. The day ends at sundown. The gates close at 11 o'clock. 

Nearly 1,000 buildings compose the Exposition. 

States and Territories have forty-five buildings. 

The Philippine exhibit has forty acres. 

The foreign pavilions, of which there are about forty, each typical 
of the country that built it. 

The Administration group are permanent college buildings. 

Nearly every foreign nation has a typical garden. 

The Exposition shows a large number of beautiful gardens. 

Sculpture, statuary, groups and figures have no relation to build- 
ings. 

There are 70,000 separate exhibitors. 

Concessions are divided into geographical, scientific, illusory, res- 
taurant and selling concessions. 

Special Events. — Music in concerts, competition by bands, organ- 
ists, orchestras and choruses; conventions and congresses; athletic 
events, including the Olympian games; airship contests; military drills 
and encampments. 

GROUNDS. 

The main picture of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition formed 
by big exhibit buildings, lawns, trees, lagoons, basins and cascades, is 
in the shape of a fan. 

The buildings are ivory white, with dashes of color on the roofs, 
to relieve the strain on the visitors' eyes. 

A line sewer system, water service for domestic use and fire serv- 
ice system. 

Nature prevails in the western part of the Exposition, as art and in- 
dustry do in the eastern part. Forestry, agriculture, horticulture, live 
stock, fish, game, uncivilized and half-civilized men make their appear- 
ance here. Most interesting are the exhibits of the Philippinos and 
Indians, never seen in such abundance before, and only in America pos- 
sible at all. From the ethnographic and anthropologic point of view 
alone a two weeks' stay in the Exposition is more instructive than two 
years' travel through all the five continents of the globe.

THE NIGHT SCENE. 

The radiant beauty of the night scene will far surpass the expecta- 
tions of any who may attempt to picture it in advance of its realization. 
In the creation of the night picture every builder's art has a share. The 
sculptor's rare work, the architect's rich designs, the landscape architect's 
clever arrangement of fountains, plants, flowers and trees will all take on 
new beauty under the electric glow of half a million bulbs. Almost the 
entire energy of the Exposition power plant is available for the electric 
picture. The Mechanical and Electrical Bureau has worked out a scheme 
of illumination that promises results never before realized in spectacular 
magnificence. While the buildings are reconstructed in fire for the night 
view by means of the festive shimmer of countless filaments, the picture 
is accentuated by the piercing rays of arc lamps at salient points upon all 
the principal structures.

Fish From All Waters 

Interesting Exhibits Will Abound in the Forestry, Fish and CameSBuilding 
at the World's Fair 

The Forestry, Fish and Game building stands west of the French National reserva- 
tion, 850 feet west of Skinker road and 100 feet south of Forsythe avenue. The building- 
is on a terrace five feet high, and is reached by broad streches of ornate stairs on either 
side. The structme is 300 feet by 600 feet, and was designed by E. L. Masqueray, Chief of 
Design of the Exposition. The cornice line is 58 feet high and the apex of the gables is 74 
feet from the ground, There are no towering features. The long facades are broken by 
gables on the corners and in the centers of the long fronts. The gables are flanked by 
large flag staffs with spreading bases, which serve to elevate the roof line. 

As in the palaces of Agriculture and Horticulture which are not included in the 
fan-shaped central picture, color will be applied in the decoration of the Forestry, Fish 
and Game building. 




FORESTRY, FISH AND GAME BUILDIN3 



The building is admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is intended. Light is 
admitted by large windows on all sides, and monitor lights vary the large roof area. 
Posts and trusses are so arranged that they perform their functions without obstructing 
the view. The central nave is 85 feet wide, entirely free of posts. Four smaller aisles, 
two on either side, are 50 feet wide. 

The fish tanks are constructed on the east side of the building. These vary in length 
from 6 to 14 feet. Within the building west of the aquariums is a pool 25 feet wide by 50 
feet long, crossed by a rustic bridge. Big fish will swim in the crystal water in the pool, 
and their movements may be observed from the bridge. 

West of the pool are four ponds 20 by 60 feet. The banks of these are bordered with 
masses of rock, stretches of sand and gravel, and aquatic plants, giving them the appear- 
ance of natural bodies of water. Wire netting will surround and cover two of the ponds, 
making a suitable home for aquatic birds. The two remaining ponds will be used for a 
display of fish. Still further west is a circular marine basin 40 feet in diameter. This will 
be filled with sea water and in it will be shown many of the interesting salt water fish. 

A large glass tank will constitute the improvised home for New Jersey oysters, 
clams, shrimps, crabs, lobsters and other shell fish. The environments will be so natural 
that the fish will, it is expected, live and thrive just as they do on the Jersey shores. Mud 
from the Jersey oyster beds will be dredged and transported to the World's Fair. A thick 
coating will be spread over the bottom of the tank and on this will be poured five and 
one-half feet of salt water, brought from New Jersey's shores.

Frederick Remington, group of statuary cowboys, shooting up a 
Western town, at the entrance to the Pike, the great center of amuse- 
ment at the Exposition, is peculiarly appropriate as an introduction to 
this great street of life and merriment. 

More than forty amusements, which cost $6,000,000, nearly two 
miles long. Peopled with over seven thousand nonedescript charac- 
ters from all parts of the world. 

Many of the Pike features have cost very large sums to construct; 
$750,000 was expended in one. 

Many of the concessions have elegant theatres and restaurants. 
Nearly all of them have some kind of refreshments for the Pikers.

BOER WAR CONCESSION. 

This concession, which is located east of Skinker road and oppo- 
site the Agricultural and Horticultural Buildings, comprising a space 
of nearly twelve acres, will reproduce in the most realistic and thrilling 
manner the famous battles of the Boer War. This concession differs 
entirely from the usual panoramic display inasmuch as besides such 
noted heroes as General Benjamin Johannis Viljoen, General Piet 
Cronje, General Kemp, who commanded the Boers in the engagement 
which resulted in General Methuen's capture; also Majs. Ross, Scott, 
Harden, W. P. Stewart, etc. 

There will be over five hundred men take part in the maneuvers, 
including two hundred Boers, one hundred British troopers, thirty 
Swazies and an equal number of Kaffirs, who, with the aid of com- 
plete batteries of rapid-fire guns will participate respectfully in the 
two opposing forces in the battle reproductions. The famous battle 
of Colenso and the battle of Paardengurg, where General Cronje sur- 
rendered three thousand men to General Lord Roberts, will be faith- 
fully reproduced. 

Some idea of the magnitude of the plans of this concession may 
be obtained from the fact that the entire ship, "The Douncastle," has 
been chartered at an expense of thirty thousand ($30,000.00) dollars 
to convey the troopers, guns and equipments to this country. 

The South African Boer War Exhibition Company, organized un- 
der the laws of the State of Missouri, with a capital of $250,000, are 
the concessionaires. 

Among many of the different contests offered by the Exposition 
is one in which many aeronauts will take a great interest. It is a com- 
petition in which the winner will be awarded with a $100,000 prize. 

There are minor prizes offered, which will amount to an aggre- 
gate sum of $50,000. This desirable prize will induce many aeronauts 
to become noticeable, who otherwise would have been unknown. Any 
sort of method will be allowed in attempting to obtain the desired 
goal, and only the actual victor will be awarded the prize. Amusement 
will be but a small feature in the contest. The serious worker will 
only be accepted. 

All rules and regulations have passed a favorable criticism, by a 
conference formed for that purpose. 

This contest if successful (and no one has the least doubt) will be 
a great event and show to the world the remarkable progress the 
aeronauts have achieved in the past few years. 

TRIPS ON THE RIVER. 

During the summer months popular day' and night excursions are 
conducted by the steamboat companies operating on the Mississippi, giv- 
ing visitors opportunity to view the harbor and the many points of inter- 
est above and below the city. Price 25c and 50c for the round trip. 
More extensive trips are made at stated intervals, and packet lines carry 
passengers to Upper Mississippi river points on fixed sailing days. Due 
announcements are made in the daily newspapers.

THE WAY TO REACH THE WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS. 

Strangers in the City. — Study map of St. Louis showing street car 
lines and location of World's Fair Grounds, and don't be afraid to ask 
a policeman; he will put you right if you become confused. 

The World's Fair Grounds are located about five miles from the 
west bank of the Mississippi River, about four miles from the business 
center of the city. 

Street Car Lines. — Two corporations operate the street cars — The 
St. Louis Transit Company and the St. Louis & Suburban Railway 
Company. Each system has its own transfers. The Transit Company 
touches the Fair grounds at six entrances, and the St. Louis & Sub- 
urban at three entrances. 

All Streets Cars and large lettered signs to indicate the line of 
street over which they travel; also other signs front and back to in- 
dicate the route or destination. 

All St. Louis Transit system lines going to the World's Fair 
Grounds carry large blue signs on the front with the words 

Direct to the World's Fair Grounds. 

Fare on all St. Louis street cars will be to any point in the city 
or to city limits five cents single passage. Children, under 12 years and 
over 5, are carried for half fare. The conductor will give you a half- 
fare ticket as change for five cents when a child's fare is tendered. 

Steam Railroads. — The southern side of the World's Fair grounds 
is reached by the Taylor City Belt Railroad, a corporation which serves 
the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad 'and the Missouri Pacific Rail- 
road. The Wabash Railroad has a fine terminal station at the north- 

i ntrance. Here thirty-two stub tracks, on which shuttle trains to 
the city arc operated, have been installed. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 47 

Tally-ho and automobiles will be operated from most of the lead- 
ing hotels in the downtown section of the city. 

Olive St. Line. — The most direct thoroughfare to the Exposition is 
Olive street. Three lines of the St. Louis Transit system of electric 
cars traverse this street w. from Broadway to the Lindell Entrance, 
through the best residence district. These cars carry the word "Olive" 
on the roof, and the small sign in black letters, "Lindell Entrance." 

World's Fair cars traverse Olive street w. to Walton av., thence 
s. to McPherson av., thence w. to Union bl., thence s. to DeGiverville

to the w. loop at Lindell Entrance. 

Delmar Av. Line. — This line begins on Washington av., passes w. 
through the business district from Eads Bridge, and termintaes at 
Lindell Entrance. The cars turn n. from Lucas av. on Grand av. 
to Finney av., w. to Taylor av., s. to Delmar bl., w. to DeBaliviere av., 
where they take the w. loop at Lindell Entrance. They return via 
practically thesame route.

Eads Bridge to Grand av., thence they turn n. to Finney av., w. to 
Taylor av., no. to Page av., thence w. to Hamilton av., thence s. to

Easton Av. Line. — Cars with the large sign "Easton" on the roof, 
go w. from Broadway on Franklin av. and Easton av. to Hamilton av., • 
thence s. on Hamilton av. and across a private right of way to the 
Pike Entrance. 

(The three loops at the n. side of the Exposition grounds at Lin- 
dell, Administration and The Pike Entrances are connected by an 
emergency line running e. and w. along the border of The Pike, and 
on occasion the cars may be interchanged from one of these roads to 
the other.) 

South Side Terminals. — On the s. border of the World's Fair 
grounds there are two loops of the St. Louis Transit system, viz.: at 
the State Building Entrance and Agriculture Entrance. Three lines of 
cars take these loops: Laclede, Market and Taylor. These alternate 
between the two loops according to conditions, but their designation 
is indicated by a white sign with black letters naming the entrance at 
which they stop. 

Laclede Av. Line. — Cars bearing the word "Laclede" in large let- 
ters on the roof traverse Market st. w. from Fourth st., passing Union 
Station and proceeding via Laclede av. to Euclid av., thence s. to Chou- 
teau av., where they proceed by a private right of way to the loop at 
the State Building Entrance, or the Agriculture Entrance; returning 
via the same route. 

Taylor Av. Line. — Cars bearing the words "Taylor Av." in large 
letters on the roof, cross the city n. and s. on Euclid, Taylor and N. 
Newstead avs. At Euclid and Chouteau avs. they turn into a private

cars move from the business section w. on Locust st. to 13th St., n. on 
13th and 14th sts. to Wash St., continuing w. via Wash St., Franklin av. 
and Morgan St., by a private right of way and Fairmount av. to Union

WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 59 



TRAR SHOOTING RULES 

FURNISHED BY THE U. M. C. CARTRIDGE CO. 



Broken Target. — A broken target is one which has at least a 
visible piece or pieces broken from it, or which is completely re- 
duced to dust, or which has a visible section broken from it, even 
though such section be broken into dust by the contestant's shot. 

Dusted Target. — A dusted target is one from which more or less, 
dust is knocked by the contestant's shot, but which shows no vis- 
ible diminution in size therefrom. A dusted target is not a broken 
target. 

Duly Notified. — A contestant is duly notified to compete when 
his name is called out by the Referee, Scorer or other person 
authorized to do so by the Management. If a squad-hustler is 
furnished, it is a matter of courtesy only, and does not in the least 
relieve the contestant from responsibility. It is the duty of each 
and every contestant to be promptly on hand to compete when 
called to do so. Failing therein, each contestant is responsible for 
his acts of negligence. 

Pull. — Besides being a command to the Puller, the command 
"Pull" is a declaration by the contestant that he is in the competi- 
tion, and, thereafter, he must abide by the result. 

Balk. — Any occurrence, not chargeable to the contestant, which 
directly and materialy interferes with him and the equity of the 
competition after he calls " ! Pull," constitutes a balk, if it deters 
him from shooting or if it coincidentally interferes with him when 
he actually shoots ; but if he shoots after the balk occurs, he must 
abide by the result. The Referee shall alone decide on a claim of 
balk, and the claim can be made only by the party directly inter- 
ested. Misfires, a half-opened trap, etc., are considered as balks. 
A balk, when allowed, restores the contestant to a complete new 
inning. 

Disqualification. — Disqualification carries with it a forfeiture of 
all entrance money and rights in the competition to which it relates. 

Jarring Back. — Jarring Back is a term which denotes that from 
the concussion of the first barrel the safety has been jarred back 
to safe. The slipping back is not infrequently caused by the thumb 
of the shooter, but whatever may be the cause, the contestant must 
abide by the result. 



60 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 

Walk Around. — Walk Around denotes that, after shooting, each 
contestant walks to the next consecutive firing point to shoot again. 
After shooting at No. 5, the contestant next snoots at No. 1. 

No Bird or No Target. — After the Referee declares a "no bird" 
or a "no target," such bird or target is thereafter no part of the 
competition and is irrelevant to it. 

Widely Different Angles. — When a target varies more than 
thirty degrees either way, in shooting at known angles, it may be 
refused by the contestant, but he does so subject to the decision of 
the Referee as to whether it was a legal angle or not. 

Simultaneous Discharge. — A Simultaneous Discharge is one 
wherein both barrels are discharged together, or nearly together, 
from any cause. 

Dead Bird. — A bird is scored as being dead if it is gathered 
legally ; and legally is according to the requirements of the rules. 

Lost Bird. — A bird is lost when it escapes beyond the boundary, 
even thou eh it be killed. 



Interstate Association Trap Shooting Rules. 

TARGETS. 
Rule 1 . The Management. 

Inning. — The term "inning" denotes a contestant's time at the 
firing point, commencing with the call of "Pull" and ending ac- 
cordingly, as specified in these Rules. 

Section 1. The Management of the INTERSTATE ASSO- 
CIATION reserves the authority to reject any entry without giv- 
ing any reason therefor, and to disqualify, in whole or in part, any 
contestant who acts ungentlemanly, or disorderly, or who handles 
his gun dangerously. 

Sec. 2. The Management or its authorized representative 
shall appoint a Referee or Referees, or a Referee and Judges, and 
a Scorer or Scorers, and a Trap Puller or Trap Pullers, and such 
other assistants as it may deem to be necessary. 

Rule 2. The Referee. 

Besides attending to the special duties as set forth hereinafter, 
the Referee shall adjudicate the competition. He shall distinctly 
announce the result of each shot by calling out "dead" or "broke" 
wh« n the target is broken, and "lost" when the target is unbroken. 
1 fe shall decide all other issues which arise in relation to the direct 
competition. His decision in all cases shall be final. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



Rule 3. The Referee and Judges. 

Whenever a Referee and Judges are appointed, the Referee's 
sole duty shall be to decide any and all disagreements between the 
Judges and, pending the issue thereof and the Referee's decision 
thereon, there shall be no competition. The Judges shall assume 
the responsibilities and are vested with the authority set forth in 
Rule 2 concerning the Referee, except that, in case of any dis- 
agreement between them, they shall forthwith submit it to the 
Referee, and his decision thereon shall be final. 
Rule 4. The Scorer. 

The Scorer shall keep an accurate record of each shot of each 
contestant. Accordingly as the Referee calls "dead," "broke" 
or "lost," the Scorer shall promptly respond with the call "dead," 
"broke" or "lost." He shall mark the figure i for "dead" or 
"broke," and a o for "lost." The Scorer's record of the competi- 
tion so kept shall be the official score, and it shall govern all awards 
and records of such competition. When possible to do so, the 
Scorer shall keep the scores on a blackboard, plainly placed in 
view of the contestants. He shall announce the total of each 
contestant's score at its close. 

Rule 5. The Puller. 

Section i. The Puller shall have charge of springing the traps. 
He shall spring the trap or traps instantly in response to* the con- 
testant's call of "Pull." 

Sec. 2. The Puller shall have an unobstructed view of the con- 
testants at the firing points. 

Sec. 3. When a mechanical device is used to determine which 
trap shall be sprung, the Puller shall be so placed and shall so act 
that any contestant at the firing point cannot know in advance 
which trap is to be sprung. 

Rule 6. Contestant 

Section 1. A contestant is prohibited from loading his gun at 
any time other than when he is at the firing point. In single-target

66 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 

Rnle 1 9. Expert Rule, Rapid Fire. 

Contestants shoot in squads of 6, "walk around." An indicator 
or other device shall be* used to determine the order in which the 
traps shall be sprung. No. i shoots at a target to be thrown from 
any one of the five traps ; thereafter, as determined by the device, 
each contestant, in turn, shoots at a target from any one of the 
traps which remain filled; thus, for No. I there are 
five filled; for No. 2 there are four filled, and so 
on to No. 5, who has one filled, and that one is known. The sixth 
man is the pivot man. In case of a broken target or balk, the

vance which trap is to be sprung for him. 

Sec. 4. The Management may appoint an assistant Puller to 
take charge of the mechanical device and to require that the traps 
be sprung accordingly as determined by it.

has only one trigger, before opening the gun or cocking it. Should 
the cartridge which has misfired or apparently misfired be exploded 
when thus tried, the Referee shall declare the bird "lost." If in 
the case of a misfire or apparent misfire the contestant opens his

(b) when the bird dwells, even for the briefest moment, on the 
top of the boundary enclosure, whether it perches thereon or not ; 

(c) when the contestant fails to fire because his gun was un-

(b) when a bird is on the ground when the contestant fires his 
first barrel, if the bird is afterward gathered within bounds. If 
a bird is on the wing when the first barrel is fired and it is killed 
on the ground with the second barrel, it is a dead bird ; 

(c) when the bird walks in one yard from the traps, or when, 
after having been on the wing and still being unshot at, it alights 
between the traps and the dead line, and thereafter walks toward 
the contestant at all; 

(d) when the bird, after being shot at, escapes through any 
opening in the boundary, the same being permanent or not, if, in 
the opinion of the Referee, it could not have escaped otherwise ;

case a claim of balk is allowed to a contestant, it gives him a right 
to a new inning and the use of both barrels ; 

(1) when the trap is not sprung with reasonable promptness to 
the command "Pull," or when the bird, not having been on the 
wing, refuses to fly after the trap has been sprung, if in either in-

second barrel if he does not kill the bird with the first barrel (ex- 
cept as provided in Rule 14, Section 4) ; 

(q) when he has a misfire with both barrels (except as provided 
in Rule 14, Section 4) ; 

(r) when, the overground system being used, a trap or traps 
are unfilled before the contestant shoots. 

(s) See Section 8 of Rule 12; 

"No birds," in case of b, f, g, h, 1, o, p and q, shall be paid for 
by the contestant. 

Sec. 2. In case the contestant uses a magazine gun, it is a "no 
bird," and the Referee shall allow another bird, respectively. 

(a) when the head of the empty shell is pulled off in the attempt 
to eject it, thereby obstructing the chamber of the gun and prevent- 
ing the reloading of it for the second shot ;

properly, the extractor has failed to extract the empty shell. 

"No birds," in the case of a and b, shall be paid for by the 
contestant.

extracted from the chamber, is not ejected from the gun, thereby 
preventing the reloading of it for the second shot;

is too thick or too long, or by any other failure of any kind what- 
soever, caused by a reloaded shell. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



Rule 1 0. No Bird, Iff Refused. 

If a contestant refuses to shoot under any of the following cir- 
cumstances, the Referee shall declare "no bird," and shall allow 
another bird ; but if the contestant shoots, the result shall be scored, 
respectively, 

(a) when the contestant has not given the order to "Pull" and 
the trap is pulled nevertheless ; 

(b) when, in single-bird shooting, two or more birds are lib- 
erated at the same time. If a contestant shoots at both birds, he 
shall be required to pay for both, and shall also be fined $1.00 by the 
Management. The first bird shot at is the only one which can be 
scored dead or lost under these circumstances. 

Rule 1 1 . Refusal to Fly. 

Section I. When, on the trap being properly pulled, the bird 
refuses to fly, the Referee shall forthwith order to be exercised 
such means as are provided by the Management to make such bird 
fly. A bird, hit by a ball or' pushed by a flush rope, shall be gov- 
erned by Rule g, Section 1 (n). A contestant cannot call a "no 
bird" after the bird has been on the wing, but if he desires to make 
such bird a "no bird," he may shoot it on the ground, in which case 
it will be governed by Section 1 (b) of Rule 9. 

Sec. 2. In case of possible doubt as to whether a bird has been 
"on the wing" or not when it has flipped up, the Referee shall 
declare it "on the wing" when, in his opinion, it was so, and shall 
promptly so inform the contestant by calling out "on the wing." 

Rule 12. Gathering. 

Section 1. To be scored dead, the bird must be gathered within 
two minutes after it falls to the ground or is legally killed on the 
ground, excepting as provided in Section 4 of this Rule. The 
Management may appoint, or may permit the contestant to ap- 
point, someone to gather the bird, or a dog may be used for that 
purpose. The moment that the bird touches the ground, the Ref- 
eree shall order it gathered. 

Sec. 2. Only one man or one dog may be used at a time to 
gather any one bird. 

Sec. 3. When the gatherer does not know the whereabouts of 
the bird, the Referee or someone else appointed by him may give 
the gatherer such information as may be necessary to aid him in 
respect to it, but no one other than the Referee shall be allowed to 
accompany the gatherer. 

Sec. 4. When a dog is used to gather a bird and he cannot find 
it. in such case the time limit shall not apply. Such dog shall be 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



called in, and, after he is in control, the Referee shall appoint 
someone to gather the bird, whereupon the time limit shall apply. 

Sec. 5. In case of a dog pointing when gathering, the time lost 
by such act shall not count as a part of the time limit. The Referee 
may send someone to urge the dog off the point, or he may direct 
that the dog be called in, after which the Referee will proceed 
under Section 4 of this Rule. 

Sec. 6. The bird, when once within the grasp of the gatherer's 
hand, if the gatherer be a person, or within the grasp of the gath- 
erer's mouth, if the gatherer be a dog, shall be scored as dead. 

Sec. 7. The gatherer, whether man or dog, should go directly 
to the bird without any prejudice whatever to any contestant's in- 
terests. It devolves upon each contestant to so kill his birds that 
they can be gathered without any extraordinary strategy or effort. 

Sec. 8. Should the dog break away or be liberated to gather the 
bird before it has touched the ground and, while chasing the bird, 
it passes beyond the boundary, the Referee may allow the con- 
testant another bird, provided that the Referee is of the opinion 
that the bird would have been gathered within the time limit if the 
dog had not interfered. 

Sec. 9. The Puller shall not spring the trap until the trapper 
and retrievers are back in their places, even though the contestant 
calls "Pull." 

The mutilation of birds is prohibited. Any contestant, who is 
convicted of violating this rule, or of conniving at its violation, 
shall forfeit all rights in the contest. 

Section I. In the Grand American Handicap Tournament no 
contestant shall use a gun whose bore is larger than a 12-gauge, 
nor whose weight is over 8 pounds ; nor use in any other competi- 
tion a gun whose bore is larger than a 10-gauge. 

Sec. 2. No contestant shall use any load of shot, exceeding one 
and one-quarter ounce, any standard measure, struck. 

Sec. 3. Any contestant who uses reloaded ammunition must 
abide by the results. (Rule 8, c.) 

Sec. 4. Any contestant who knowingly uses a gun or cartridge 
which has once misfired in the competition must abide by the re- 
sults. 

Whenever the Referee deems it necessary to do so, for the pur- 
pose of saving time, etc., may require any contestant to com- 
pete, whether it is such contestant's turn to compete or not. Shoot- 
ing out of turn does not affect the competitive standing of any con- 
testant.

Endeavors will be made to have the champions of the Amer- 
ican and National Leagues play a series of three games for the 
Olympic Championship. 

For the first time in the history of Physical Culture, this great 
factor in the welfare of society is officially recognized as a special 
department by the Exposition. An appropriation has been made 
for this purpose. A gymnasium, which is to be a permanent one, 
has been erected upon the Exposition site, as also a stadium with a 
seating capacity of 35,000. 

Within this stadium are to be held, during the season 1904, all 
known sports for which valuable prizes are offered. The famous 
Olympic Games may be designated as the most important feature 
of this remarkable athletic festival. These will last an entire 
week, and it is the intention of the management of the Exposition 
to make the Olympiad of 1904 the greatest ever held. The first of 
these modern Olympiads — which are the reproduction of the 
famous games of ancient Greece — was held at Athens in 1896. 
when an American astonished the world by winning the discus- 
throwing championship. The second series of Olympic Games 
was held at Paris in 1900 in connection with the Paris Exposition, 
where they were a world's attraction, and where American athletes 
won nine-tenths of the prizes. The representatives of athletics in 
America propose that nothing shall be left undone to make this 
first American Olympiad a phenomenal success. A special Ameri- 
can Committee has been organized in addition to the International 
Committee of the Olympic Games to this end. 

The programme of World's Championship contests, which is 
scheduled to take place during the Olympic year, is without ques- 
tion the greatest program of its kind ever arranged. It will in- 
clude the Handicap Meeting, the Junior Championships, and the 
National Championships of the Amateur Athletic Union of the 
United States. World's Contest at Bicycling, Olympic Interschol- 
astic Championships, Swimming Championships, open to the 
swimmers of the world; Plunging Contests, Fancy Diving and the 
Water Polo Championships, Lawn Tennis is well taken care of, 
one week having been set aside for this sport. World's College 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 77 

Championships will be held, as well as sectional events. Several 
days have been set aside for Mass Exhibitions by Turners, and 
two days will be devoted to the Turner' International individual 
and Team Contests. The All Around Championship will be held 
on July 4, and will be open to the athletes of the world. Three 
days will be devoted to International Lacrosse, and Basketball 
Championships for the schools, Y. M. C. A.'s, Athletic Clubs and 
Colleges will extend over several days. Irish sports, including 
Hurling and Gaelic Football, will occupy four days. An Inter- 
scholastic Championship, open to the schools of the world, will 
be given, occupying two days. The World's Fencing Champion- 
ships will occupy three days, two days will be set aside for Cricket, 
and a Military Carnival will extend over a week. Two days will 
be devoted to the Wrestling Championships, and the amateur gym- 
nasts of the world will be given several days to contest for 
Olympic honors. A Relay Racing Carnival, open to Schools, 
Athletic Clubs, and Y. M. C. A.'s, will extend over a period of 
several days. College Football will receive attention, many days 
having been set aside for this game. Association Football will 
occupy several days in the fall of the year, and the World's Cross 
Country Championship will occupy one day. The National Game 
of Baseball will be played by Schools, Colleges, and professional 
organizations, the intention being to have the two major leagues 
play for the World's Championship in conjunction with the Olym- 
pic series. 

School gymnastics, with and without apparatus, will be shown 
in as complete a way as the great opportunities presented will 
allow. 

There will be an extended exhibition of games suitable for the 
conditions of city life ; games which, can be played by large num- 
bers of children in limited spaces ; games which can be played un- 
der the restricted conditions of the class room. 

Under the head of anthropometry, the aim will be to secure an 
exhibition of material and methods bearing upon anthropometry as 
related to physical training in a more complete way than has pre- 
viously been attempted. The general field of anthropometry as re- 
lated to anthropology will not be entered into. The distinctive aim 
will be to bring forward those facts and methods which are of 
greatest importance with reference to the development of physical 
training from the standpoint of anthropometry as applied to ele- 
mentary school, secondary schools, and colleges. 

It is the desire of the Department to have the Physical Train- 
ing features center about the national idea. To this end papers 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



will be sought from eminent workers in the field of physical 
training and allied sciences as to national systems of gymnastics, 
and their relation to the specific characteristics among the people 
from which they arose, and as to the effects of these systems of 
gymnastics upon the people who use them. These papers will 
aim to discuss the subject from psychologic, sociologic, as well as 
physiologic standpoints. Historical papers will be sought upon the 
rise of the specific ideas which underly the different gymnastic 
systems. The national sports of the different countries of the 
world will also be studied with reference to their significance as 
reflecting the type of people among which they have received their 
highest development and also as to their effect in the development 
of these types. In this way it is expected that a more philosophical 
interpretation will be given to athletic sports as a factor of evolu- 
tion in civilization than has hitherto been attempted. 

Space will be provided for a display of the dress and equipment 
necessary for games and sports, all kinds of sporting goods, sup- 
plies, and athletic paraphernalia.

United States, as follows : 

i. No person shall be eligible to compete in any athletic meet- 
ing, game or entertainment given or sanctioned by this Union who 
lias (i) received or competed for compensation or reward, in any

knowledge of any athletic exercise, or for rendering personal serv- 
ice of any kind to any athletic organization, or for becoming or 
continuing a member of any athletic organization; or (2) has en- 
tered any competition under a name other than his own, or from a

or (3) has knowingly entered any competition open to any pro- 
fessional or professionals, or has knowingly competed with 
any professional for any prize or token ; or (4) has issued or 
allowed to be issued in his behalf any challenge to compete against 
any professional, or for money, or (5) has pawned, bartered or 
sold any prize won in athletic competition, or (6) is not a regis- 
tered athlete. Nor shall any person residing within the territory 
of any active member of this Union be eligible to compete for or 
to enter any competition as a member of anv club in the territory 
of any other active member of this Union, unless he shall have beer 
elected to membership in such club prior to April 1, 1891 ; pro- 
vided, however, that this restriction as to residence shall not apply 
to undergraduates connected with any allied college athletic or- 
ganization. 

2. No one shall be eligible to compete in any athletic meeting, 
games or entertainment given or sanctioned by this Union, unless 
he shall be a duly registered athlete, a member of the organization 
from which he enters, and shall not have competed from any club 
in this Union during a period of three months next preceding such 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 81 

entry ; nor shall any member of any club in this Union, or any club 
in any district in this Union be allowed to' compete in case he has 
within one year competed as a member of any other club then in 
this Union, except with the consent of such other club, which con- 
sent shall be filed with the Registration Committtee of his district 
prior to such competition unless such other club shall have dis- 
banded or practically ceased to exist; provided that the require- 
ment of this section shall not apply to any athletic meeting, games 
or entertainment, the entries for which are confined to the club or 
organization giving such meeting or entertainment. 

I. In no meeting, game or entertainment that has been sanc- 
tioned as an open athletic meeting shall an athlete's entry be ac- 
cepted unless he shall have received a numbered certificate of reg- 
tration, stating that he is an amateur and eligible to compete in 
amateur sports. The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to 
events that are "closed," that is, open only to members of the club 
giving the said games. 

Section I. A fair jump shall be one that is made without the 
assistance of weights, diving, somersaults or handsprings of any 
kind. 

Sec. 2. The Field Judge shall decide the height at which the

tions. 

Each competitor shall be allowed three trial jumps at each 
height, and if on the third trial he shall fail, he shall be declared 
out of the competition. 

At each successive height each competitor shall take one trial in 
his proper turn ; then those failing; if any, shall have their second 
trial jump in a like order, after which those having failed twice 
shall make their third trial jump. 

The jump shall be made over a bar resting on pins projecting not 
more than three inches from the uprights, and when this bar is 
removed from its place it shall be counted as a trial jump. 

Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump shall be 
counted as a "balk," and three successive "balks" shall be counted 
as a trial jump. 

The distance of the run before the jump shall be unlimited. 

A competitor may decline to jump at any height in his turn, and 
by so doing forfeits his right to again jump at the height declined. 

Sec. 3. The feet of the competitor may be placed in any posi- 
tion, but shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt to 
jump. When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two 
springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as a trial 
jump without result. A competitor may rock forward and back, 



82 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 

lifting heels and toes alternately from the ground, but may not lift 
either foot clear from the ground or slide it along the ground in 
any direction. 

With this exception the rules governing the Running High Jump 
shall also govern the Standing High Jump. 

Sec. 4. When jumping on earth a joist five inches wide shall 
be sunk flush with it. The outer edge of this joist shall be called 
the scratch line, and the measurements of all jumps shall be made 
from it at right angles to the nearest break in the ground made by 
any part of the person or the competitor. 

In front of the scratch line the ground shall be removed to the 
depth of three and the width of twelve inches outward. 

A foul jump shall be one where the competitor in jumping off 
the scratch line makes a mark on the ground immediately in front 
of it, or runs over the line without jumping, and shall count as a 
trial jump without result. 

Each competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the best three 
shall each have three more trial jumps. 

The competition shall be decided by the best of all the trial 
jumps of the competitors. 

The distance of the run before the scratch line shall be un- 
limited. 

Sec. 5. The height of the bar at starting and at each suc- 
cessive elevation shall be determined by the officials. 

Three tries allowed at each height. Each competitor shall make 
an attempt in the order in which his name appears on the program, 
then those who have failed shall have a second trial in regular 
order, and those failing on this trial shall take their final trial. 

Displacing the bar counts as a try. 

A line shall be drawn fifteen feet in front of the bar and parallel 
with it ; crossing this line in an attempt shall be a balk. Two 
balks constituting a try. 

Leaving the ground in an attempt shall constitute a try. 

A competitor may omit his trials at any height, but if he fail at 
the next height he shall not be allowed to go back and try the 
height he omitted. 

The poles shall have no assisting devices, except that they may 
be wound or wrapped with any substance for the purpose of af- 
fording a firmer grasp, and may have one spike at the lower end. 
No competitor shall, during his vault, raise the hand which was 
uppermost when he left the ground to a higher point on the pole, 
nor shall he raise the hand which was undermost when he left the 
ground to any point on the pole above the other hand. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



Poles shall be furnished by the club giving the games, but con- 
testants may use their private poles if they so desire, and no con- 
testant shall be allowed to use any of these private poles except by 
the consent of their owners. The poles shall be unlimited as to 
size and weight. 

Any competitor shall be allowed to dig a hole not more than one 
foot in diameter at the take-off in which to plant his pole. 

In case of a tie the officials shall raise or lower the bar at their 
discretion, and those competitors who have tied shaLl be allowed 
one trial at each height. 

« In handicaps where a tie occurs, the scratch man or man with 
the smallest allowance shall be given the place. 

The rule governing the Running Broad Jump shall also govern 
the Pole Vault for distance, except that when the man leaves the 
ground in an attempt it shall be counted a trial. 

Sec. 6. The feet of the competitor may be placed in any posi- 
tion, but shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt to 
jump. When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two 
springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as a trial 
jump without result. A competitor may rock forward and back, 
lifting heels and toes alternately from the ground, but may not 
lift either foot clear of the ground, or slide it along the ground in 
any direction. 

In all other respects the rule governing the Running Broad 
Jump shall also govern the Standing Broad Jump. 

Sec. 7. The feet of the competitor shall leave the ground only 
once in making an attempt for each of the three jumps, and no 
stoppage between jumps shall be allowed. In all other respects 
the rules governing the Standing Broad Jump shall also govern 
the Three Standing Broad Jumps. 

Sec. 8. The competitor shall first land upon the same foot with 
which he shall have taken off. The reverse foot shall be used for 
the second landing, and both feet shall be used for the third tend- 
ing.

making his puts, the feet of the competitor may rest against, but 
not on top of this board. 

A fair put shall be one in which no part of the person of the 
competitor touches the top of the stop-board, the circle, or the 
ground outside the circle, and the competitor leaves the circle by 
its rear half, which shall be the half directly opposite the stop-

petitor touch the ground outside the front half of the circle be- 
fore the put is measured. 

The measurement of each put shall be from the nearest mark 
made by the fall of the shot to the circumference of the circle on 
a line from the mark made by the shot to the center of the circle. 

Foul puts and letting go the shot in making an attempt shall be 
counted as trial puts without result. 

A board similar to the one in front may be used at the back of 
the circle. 

The order of competing and number of trials shall be the same 
as for the running broad jump. Shots shall be furnished by the 
Games Committee. Any contestant may use his private shot, if 
correct in weight and shape ; in which case the other contestants 
must also be allowed to use it if they wish.

lie chooses, and use one or both hands. 

Foul throws and letting go the weight in an attempt shall count 
as trial throws without results. 

Weights shall be furnished by the Games Committee. Any con- 
testant may use his private weight, if correct in weight and shape; 
in which case the other contestants must also be allowed to use it 
if they wish. 

Sec. 2. A fair throw shall be one where no part of the person 
of the competitor touches the circle, the ground outside the circle, 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 85 

and the competitor leaves the circle by its rear half, which shall 
be that part of the circle directly opposite the half occupied by the 
competitor at the moment of delivery, and shall be designated by 
an imaginary line drawn through the center of the circle at right 
angles to the direction of the throw. 

The measurement of each throw shall be from the nearest mark 
made by the fall of any part of the weight or handle to the inside 
edge of the circumference of the circle on a dine from the mark to 
the center of the circle. 

The number of trials and method of decision shall be the same 
as in the running broad jump. 

The head and handle may be of any size, shape and material, 
provided that the length of the complete implement shall not be 
more than four feet and its weight not less than sixteen pounds. 

The competitor may assume any position he chooses, and use 
either one or both hands. 

All throws shall be made from a circle seven feet in diameter, 
the circle to be a metal or wooden ring, painted or whitewashed and 
sunk almost flush with the ground. 

A fair throw shall be where no part of the person of the com- 
petitor touches the circle or the ground outside the circle, and the 
competitor leaves the circle by its rear half, which shall be that 
directly opposite the half occupied by the competitor at the moment 
of delivery, and shall be designated by an imaginary line drawn 
through the center of the circle at right angles to the direction of 
the throw. 

Foul throws and letting go of the hammer in an attempt shall 
count as trial throws. 

The measurement of each throw shall be from the nearest mark 
made by the fall of the head of the hammer to the inside circum- 
ference of the circle, on a line from the mark to the center of the 
circle. 

The number of trials and methods of decision shall be the same 
as in the running broad jump. 

Hammers shall be furnished by the Games Committee. Any 
contestant may use his private hammer, if correct in weight and 
length ; in which case the other contestants must also be allowed to 
use it if they wish. 

The discus shall be of smooth, hard wood body without finger 
holes, weighted in center with lead discs and capped with pol- 
ished brass discs, with steel ring on the outside. The weight of the 
discus shall be four and one-half (4^) pounds; outside diameter, 
eight (8) inches; thickness in center, two (2) inches.

competitor may use his private discus, if correct in weight and 
shape, in which case the other contestants shall be allowed to use 
it if they wish.

appeal. There shall also be a timer, who shall time the bouts in 
accordance with rule three.

testant, except when the total number of entries for finals exceed

shall be divided by lot into sections of from four to six each, and 
the two highest men in each section shall meet in the finals. 

3. Each bout shall consist of four minutes actual fencing, and 
contestants shall change positions after two minutes. Contestants 
shall come on guard, in the middle of the space, at the command 
of a judge. In case the judges cannot decide, contestants shall 
meet for an extra assault of two minutes duration, changing sides 
at the end of one minute. 

4. Each judge shall make his award without consulting his 
fellow judges, taking into account the general bearing of the com- 
petitors, the number and value of touches, and the general form 
shown in defense and attack. The majority vote of the judges 
shall decide the winner of the assault to whom shall be given one 
point. 

5. Touches shall count only when made upon the body, within 
the limits bounded by the collar of the fencing jacket, the medium 
line, the hip, and a line drawn from the hip to the posterior limit of 
the armpit around the front of the arm and along the crest of the 
shoulder to the collar, A touch on any part of boundary lines 
shall count. 

6. The competitor attack should parry. If a stop thrust be 
made it shall only count in favor of the giver, provided he is not 
touched at all. 

7. A touch, whether fair or foul, invalidates the riposte. 

8. A touch is of no value when the point is twisted on to the 
body after the slap of the foil. 

9. The judge must stop a corps-a-corps as soon as made. 

10. A disarmament is of no value. A touch immediately 
following a disarmament counts. 

11. A point scored from a thrust started with the elbow behind 
the body (jab thrusts) shall not count. 



92 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 

12. Each contestant shall fence with the same hand throughout. 

13. Competitors shall wear clean white fencing suits. The 
jacket of each competitor must be covered with chamois within 
lines described where touches count. (See Rule 5.) 

14. Contestants shall fence within a marked space of twenty 
feet long and thirty-six inches wide, with a mark plainly indicating 
the middle.

bout and each judge shall award a touch to the opponent of the 
man overstepping these limits, and the director shall start the 
contestants again, in the middle of the marked space. 

15. Foil blades shall not exceed thirty-four inches in length. 

16. Contestants must acknowledge all touches in an audible 
voice. If a contestant persistently fails to acknowledge touches 
the judges may award two touches to his opponent for each 
offense. 

1. Dueling sword competitions shall be conducted by three or 
five judges for each bout, who shall be experienced Amateur 
Fencers, selected from different clubs, if possible, and whose deci- 
sion shall be final and without appeal. 

2. Each contestant shall fence a bout with every other con- 
testant for one touch. Each touch shall count one point. 

3. A judge, upon seeing a touch, shall stop the bout, and there- 
upon a vote shall be taken. A touch shall be awarded only upon 
contestant shall discuss the touches made or claimed, nor shall any 
the agreement of a majority of the judges. Neither judges nor 
comment be made upon them. 

4. Sword tips shall be chalked merely to aid the judges in 
arriving at a decision ; a chalk mark is not conclusive evidence of 
a touch. 

5. The contestant receiving the lowest number of touches shall 
be declared the winner, the next lowest second, and so on. 

6. A touch on any part of the adversary counts. 

7. A disarmament is of no value. A touch immediately follow- 
ing a disarmament counts. 

8. If both contestants are touched simultaneously, the judges 
shall declare a touch against each man. If, however, it is clear to 
the majority of the judges that one touch is perceptibly ahead of 
the other, the touch shall be considered good. 

9. The diameter of the bell-guard shall not exceed five inches, 
and the blade shall not be more than thirty-four inches long. 

10. Each competitor shall wear a dark fencing suit and dark 
gloves. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



1. A bout shall be for a total of seven touches, each touch to 
count one point. In addition the judges may award any part of

space shall not be imposed, nor shall there be any restriction, as 
to color of costume.

to habitually attend a salle d'armes, assisting an instructor in the 
discharge of his duties, whether such assistance or work be paid 
for or not, cannot be considered an amateur.

sion will be made for motor driven-vehicles. The programme will 
include speed trials, hill climbing, and other contests wherein the 
worth of the machine and the skill of operators can be demon- 
strated. It is not unlikely that the annual endurance run of the 
National Association of Automobile Manufacturers will terminate 
at St. Louis during the week when Automobiles will be made a 
feature of the Fair. The subject is now in the hands of a special 
committee, and after its report has been made and approved, a 
complete announcement will be made in the Automobile Journals 
and the Daily Press. 

This section of the Olympic Games will be arranged on a broad 
plane so as to cover the educational and scientific phases of the sub- 
ject as adequately as the competitive part. The practical side of 
physical training will be demonstrated by a comprehensive display 
of exhibits, comprising: 

1. School Gymnastics by classes from the various grades of 
public schools, showing the German, Swedish and other methods. 

2. School games as conducted in the school room by grades, 
school games practiced in school yards, and the various gymnastic 
games practiced in the many gymnasiums of this and other coun- 
tries for persons of all ages. 

3. Gymnastics as applied to the training of soldiers. 

4. The methods pursued by the great gymnastic organizations 
of the country, the North American Gymnastic Union, Young 
Men's Christian Associations and similar institutions, will be fully 
set forth. There will also be an exhibit of popular Swedish gym- 
nastics, and a representative collection of photographs, charts, dia- 
grams, catalogues, circulars, programmes, etc. 

Exhibits of this nature are being invited from those nations 
where physical training in the schools is under Government super- 
vision. American cities where physical training is conducted as 
part of the school system are also being invited to contribute ex- 
hibits. Associations making a specialty of and institutions giving

Schools, High Schools, Churches, Social Settlement Organiza- 
tions, Young Women's Christian Associations, Hebrew Young 
Men's Associations, and the athletic organizations of foreign 
countries. The play-ground movement in this and other countries 
will be illustrated. There will be a complete collection of physical 
training text books, scientific apparatus for use in examining the 
body, anthropometrical material, charts, photographs, etc., plans 
of gymnasiums, play grounds and athletic fields. Normal schools 
of this and other countries will demonstrate their work, courses, 
equipments and publications by comprehensive exhibits.

being made with the following and other institutions to hold Con- 
ventions at St. Louis during the Exposition : The American Phys- 
ical Educational Association, Physical Directors Society of the 
Young Men's Christian Association, College Physical Directors 
Society, Society of Secondary Schools Physical Directors, North

YACHTING. 

The America's Cup races in 1903 may be said to have been the 
most successful ever sailed. Sir Thomas Lipton challenged in the name 
of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club of Cork, Ireland, and the New York 
Yacht Club named the dates of Aug. 20, 22 and 25, with the following 
Thursdays, Tuesday and Saturdays, if necessary. 

Shamrock I, Shamrock III, the steam yacht Erin and ocean-going 
English tug Cruiser left Gourock, May 28, for New York, the distance 
of 3,644 miles to Sandy Hook, via Azores, with short stop at Fayal, be- 
ing covered in 15 days 23 hours. 




The first race was sailed on the anniversary of America's Cup race 
in 1851. The summaries: 

First race — Course, a 15-mile beat to windward and return. Re- 
liance — Elapsed time, 3:32:17; corrected time, 3:32:17. Shamrock III — 
Elapsed time, 3:14:17; corrected time, 3:39:20. 

Second race — Triangular course, 30 miles. Reliance — Elapsed 
time, 3:14:54; corrected time, 3:14:54. Shamrock III — Elapsed time, 
3:18:10; corrected time, 3:16:13. 

Third race — A 15-mile beat to leeward and return. Reliance — 
Elapsed time, 4:28:04; corrected time, 4:28:04. Shamrock III did 
not finish, having lost the course in the fog and being too far behind 
to have a chance to win.

his brother, held the doubles championship of England, the interna- 
tional title and the twin cups of the United States, and H. S. Mahoney,

ROWING. 

International Races. 
Refusal to accept the entry of Constance S. Titus, champion ama- 
teur oarsman of America, for the Diamond Sculls event in the Henley 
regatta lessened interest of Americans, and since Titus had been a 
contestant in 1902, no better reason than fear could be assigned for 
rejecting his entry. James B. Juvenal of Pennsylvania was the only 
American oarsman to compete, and he was defeated in the trials by 
A. J. Beresford. In the finals the latter was defeated by F. S. Kelley, 
Leander R. C, London; time (1 5-16 miles straightaway), 8m. 41s. 
Kelley won the Diamond Sculls in 1902 by defeating Titus.

BILLIARDS AND POOL. 

Sutton and Vignaux play for the championship this month. 

To the influence of the French Academy must be attributed the 
apathy and lack of competition among professionals in America. Nearly 
all the good billiardists are under contract in the Paris academies. The 
only great match of the year was that between Maurice Vignaux, 
George Sutton, Louis Cure and George F. Slosson, in Paris, which re- 
sulted in a triple tie between the first three named. Vignaux refused 
to play off the tie and, finally, secured possession of the Brunswick- 
Balke-Collender trophy, representing the world's championship at 18- 
inch balk-line, two shots in, by an appeal to the French courts, which 
sustained his claim on the ground that he had made the best averages. 
Sutton immediately challenged and a match was arranged for January, 
1904. 

Sutton challenged Jacob Schaefer twice to play for the Brunswick- 
Balke-Collender world's championship trophy, at 18-inch balk-line, one 
shot in, held by Schaefer. While complying with every requirement 
regarding challenges, Sutton was unable to force Schaefer into a match, 
and the givers of the trophy have begun suit in a French court that 
it may again be placed in competition. According to the rules, Schaefer 
forfeited his claim to the trophy. 

Billiard Events in 1902-03.

BOWLING. 

With the largely increased number of alleys constructed during 
the summer of 1903, to meet the anticipated greater patronage, the 
auspicious opening of the fall season gave a most promising outlook for 
the year. Better average scores were made and old records seemed 
likely to be broken. 

William -Cordes of Brooklyn rolled the first perfect score (300) 
of the season in a tournament game. Others holding a similar honor 
are: W. B. Sellers, Brooklyn, 1890; G. Wadleigh, Jersey City, 1901; 
Louis T. Ulrich, Chicago, 1899; C. K. Starr, New York, 1900; Max Brum,

HOW TO FLY FISH. 
By Geo. Rawlings. 

Try and let your flies touch the water lightly, just as natural as a 
fly would alight on the surface. 

Try to keep them there for a second or two; give them a trifle of 
movement, as though they were alive and struggling on the water. 

Be on the alert and ready to strike; keep a fairly taut line so as 
the fish can hook himself. 

In striking your fish, don't jerk too hard; simply turn the wrist to 
send the hook home. 

Let the rod do most of the work. Play your fish well. Don't get 
excited. Keep cool. If you have good tackle, don't worry, he will soon 
play out. 




Cast often. Fish every foot of water. Don't get discouraged. 
Change your flies often. You may have to cast for hours; then your 
luck will change. Ten or more fine fish can be taken in a very short 
time. 

Never keep the small fish unless they are badly hooked. Consign 
them back to their native element. 

Don't buy cheap flies, because they are dearest in the end. Many 
fine fish are lost by poor shop-worn flies.

WORLD 'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 133 

The cuts on the preceding page, and these remarks, are intended to 
assist those who do NOT understand the BEST way of preparing furs for 
market. Trappers and those who DO understand need no advice from us. 

No- 1.— Square Handled Coon. This is one of the best shapes for coon 
from any and all sections. Coon should never be cased, but taken off 
OPEN, as shown by cut. 

No. 2.— Black Skunk. Very few skunk are entirely black, so the little 
white spot on top of the head does not keep it from being classed as black. 

No. 3.— Short Stripe Skunk. 

No. 4.— Narrow Stripe Skunk. 

No. 5.— Brdad Stripe Skunk. 

No. 6.— Coon. The style of handling which is used a good deal by the 
Indians is known as the Territory style and is very popular with all 
furriers. 

No. 7. — Marten, which should be cased. 
No. 8 —Wolverine, which should be open. 
No. 9.— Otter, which should be cased as cut shows. 
No. 10. — Bear Skin, which should be open. 
No. 11. — Lynx, which should be cased. 
No. 12. — Wild Cat, which should be open. 
No. 13. — Fox, which should be cased. 
No, 14. — Mink, which should be cased. 
No. 15. — Fisher, which should be cased. 

No. 16. — Timber Wolf, which should be open. Prairie Wolf should be 
handled in the same way. 

No. 17. — Opossum, which should be cased. 

No. 18. — Beaver, which should be opened and stretched nearly round, 
as cut represents. 

NOTE. — Some of the cased furs in the above cut are shown with the fur 
side out. The Skunk is shown in this way, so that it may be seen what 
is black, short, narrow, and broad stripe. 

In preparing the following kinds of furs: Fisher, Fox, Lynx, Mar- 
ten, Mink, Opossum, Otter, Skunk and Musk Rat (tail should be chopped 
off of opossum and musk rat only), they should be cased, that is, not cut 
open. In skinning such kinds a cut should be made crosswise just under 
the tail, large enough to pull the body through. The skin is thus peeled 
off, and leaves the fur on the inside and pelt side out. See that the skin 
is free of fat or meat by scraping if necessary. Cut a thin board to the 
natural shape of the skin, and put inside so as to stretch it, but do not 
stretch too much, as too much stretching spreads the fur over a larger 
surface and makes it thin and lacking in richness. 

NOTE. — The following kinds of furs should be taken off open: Bear, 
Badger, Beaver, Cats, Raccoon, Wolves and Wolverine ; that is cut 
open down the belly from head to tail. See that no fat or meat is left on 
the skin. Dry carefully, and stretch respective skins to shapes, as shown 
by the cuts on opposite page. 

CAUTION. — Do not cure with alum or salt, which injures them for 
dressing and lessens value. Do not dry skins by a fire, or in the sun, or 
smoke, which often burns them and makes them more liable to be spoiled 
or ruined in dressing. Dry in open air where there is shade, and see 
that all skins are free from fat and meat. 




THE FATHER OF ALL ANGLERS 



\ WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 135 

BLACK BASS AND HOW TO CATCH THEM. 

In the minds of many anglers the black ba.ss ranks second to none 
either as a fighter or as a food fish. Personally, I can get more and 
better sport from catching black bass than any other fish. Indeed, for 
a day-in and day-out diet the bass easily surpasses every known fish. 
The large-mouth black bass and the small-mouth black bass are justly 
celebrated as being the finest of our fresh water game fishes. They 
closely resemble each other, but may be easily distinguishd by those 
who will take the trouble to examine them carefully. The large- 
mouth, as its name implies, has a large, wide mouth, the maxillary 
extending behind the eye when the mouth is closed, while in the 
small-mouth this bone is shorter and the mouth a good deal smaller. 
Along the sides of the large-mouth is a somewhat obscure dark green 
stripe running from the end of the gill-cover to the butt of the tail. 
The small-mouth, on the contrary, has no such stripe and is marked 
by vague bands running up and down along its sides, and has three 
distinct dark markings running from behind the eye across the gill- 
covers. In habits these fishes vary a good deal — the small-mouth pre- 
ferring gravelly or rocky bottoms, while the large-mouth often live 
over weedy or muddy bottoms. The small-mouth, when hooked fights 
desperately, frequently jumping out of water to free itself from the 
hook. The large-mouth, although a good fighter, is less active and 
seldom breaks water. Some one has said that the bass puts in twenty- 
four hours a day as a life saver, keeping live things that fall in the 
water from drowning, and an examination of the stomach of a well- 
bred bass after a hearty meal confirms the diagnosis. Minnows, in- 
sects, frogs and anything alive that the capacious mouth can seize 
and chance throws in its way are eagerly taken in out of the wet. I 
have taken field mice and the remains of a young duck from the 
stomachs and on one occasion a young chipmunk which had evident- 
ly been saved from drowning. At certain seasons of the year bass 
take the minnow more readily than any one bait, but the ways of a 
fish no man knoweth, and one is as likely to offer crayfish, when the 
menu calls for minnows. It is well to go prepared with two or three 
kinds of bait. Go to a likely place or two and try out until you find 
the bait wanted then make a business of feeding hungry bass that 
particular article. Bass fight harder in cold water than in warm and 
are better eating. When you get a strike set the hook by a quick^sharp 
jerk and then proceed to convince his royal highness that his insane 
desire for the seclusion of a sunken log or rock is a breach of eti- 
quette that no good angler will permit. Keep him from tangling 
your line, at the same time preventing him from junmping into the air 
and shaking the hook from his mouth, giving line when he demands 
it, if in deep water, and bringing in the slack as he rushes toward 
you in an endeavor to get your line under the boat. Keep a firm 
pressure upon him all the time; never give an inch by slack line and 
keep your fish moving until he lies exhausted upon the water. Don't 
lift him in by the line; use a landing net if in a boat; if wading, tow 
gently to shore, keeping tight line. 

All fish should be cleaned and the gills removed immediately after 
taking, or else should have the mouths wired shut by thrusting a piece 
of copper wire through the thin cartilage near the edge of upper and 
lower jaw and twisting, so that the mouth cannot be opened. A fish 
strung in this manner may be towed behind a boat for an entire 
day without drowning and thus kept nice and fresh. 



136 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 



FOR THE CAMPER AND HUNTER. 

High Ground is the best to pitch camp on. 

Paper, or old newspaper, sewed between blankets, keeps out the 
dampness. 

Wet Clothes.— Take off, and wring them out as dry as possible. 
You are less liable to take cold. 

Don't have any refuse about camp; burn everything; don't throw 
tin cans about the camp; they draw flies. 

Washing Flannels. — Don't wring out; hang them out dripping 
wet. 

Duties in Camp. — Let every man perform certain duties in camp 
and let the Captain do the ordering. 

Fire and Waterproof for Tents and Canvas. — Equal parts of alum 
and sugar of lead; quart or more of each to several buckets of tepid 
water. Soak well, then dry. 

A Rope or wire stretched across top of tent poles makes a good 
place to hang clothes on. 

Get the best hunting boots that money can buy. Wintchell, Son 
& Co., Ltd., of Detroit, make the lightest and toughest boot on' the 
market. 

A small fire, built in the open, is the best to do your cooking on; 
the smaller the fire the better. 

Don't Lie on the Ground. — More people are made sick by sitting 
or lying on the ground than from any other cause in camp. 

Your Camp Outfit. — Remember, and keep down weight by taking 
only what you actually need. 

Have cooking utensils nest into each other, so they won't take up 
much room in your outfit. Wilson's Kamp Kook's Kiks have been 
adopted, of the United States War Department, and you can make no 
mistake in taking this useful outfit with you on camping trips. 

Your camp bedding should be good; it insures good health and 
means cheerful people in camp. 

Take a camera with you; there is a lot of enjoyment in looking at 
pictures years after. 

A good rifle is very essential. I can recommend a Savage. You 
will always feel safe with this splendid arm. 

Fire Without Matches. — Such simple facts as these have saved a 
life many a time. A handful of dry cotton lining out of your coat; take 
the crystal of your watch, compass, or spectacle; make a sun glass of 
it. With a little patience you will be able to ignite the lint or cotton. 
Signals of Distress. — It should be understood (about the number 
of shots, in rapid succession), to be fired after certain hours. 

Lost in Camp. — If you find you are lost, don't lose your head. 
Keep cool. Sit down and try and figure it out; then climb a tree or 
hill and try and locate some familiar object. If it gets dark, build a 
large fire. Your comrades will miss you and will soon be searching for 
you. Your fire may be seen. Don't waste all your ammunition. If 
you are hopelessly lost, stay where you are; it's only a matter of 
time when you will be found. 

To dry boots and shoes take a few handfuls of clean dry pebbles; 
heat them in a"pan until they are hot; place them in the boots or shoes; 
shake once in a while. Paper is good, but it takes much longer. 

A compass is a good ' "unpanion in the woods; it's always right 
when you art- wrong.

Slow, drizzling rain lasts long. 

Busy spiders mean good weather. 

Early morning rains make clear afternoons. 

Birds high in the air indicate fine weather. 

Heavy dews mean dry weather. 

Birds travel toward water at night.

History of Taxidermy. 



By FRANK SCHWARZ, ST. LOUIS, MO. 



[Read before the Naturalists' Club.] 



Taxidermy, a name formally applied to the trade of most in- 
artistically upholstering a skin, has of late years made enor- 
mous strides toward perfection, as much perhaps by improve- 
ments in methods as by any superior skill on the part of the 
taxidermist. 

It is known that our American Indians have used a mask made 
of animal hides, such as bear, puma, deer, 'etc., under which they 
concealed themselves while hunting the respective animals. They 
have also used these hides as decoys by filling the same with dried 
grasses and moss. We have no reason to believe that our an- 
cestors in the old world did not go through the same experience 
as the American Indians. 

There is very little history about this art, but a few instances 
have been recorded showing that taxidermy has been practiced 
some five hundred years before Christ. 

An old narrative of the Carthaginian navigator Hanno, has 
been verified through extensive research and that portion relating 
to the orginal discovery of the gorilla may possibly have a bear- 
ing upon the question of the antiquity of the art. By this record, 
five hundred years before the Christian era, this old navigator 
recorded the capture of gorillas and the preservation of their skins ; 
or as the record has it, "we killed and skinned them, and conveyed 
their skins to Carthage." History also relates that these skins 
were preserved in the temple of Astarte, where they remained 
until the taking of the city in the year 146 B. C, as stated by 
Pliny, who called them "Gorgones." From this, however, we can- 
not infer that these specimens were mounted or arranged to pre- 
sent life-like attitudes, but simply that the skins were preserved. 

The Art of Embalming was invented by the Egyptians for the 
purpose of preserving dead bodies from decay by means of aro- 
matic antiseptics or desiccation. It was an art created by the de- 
mand of the religious superstitions of the times and was practiced 
by the ancients from the earliest periods, but, unfortunately was 
not calculated to enlighten and elevate. In their tombs and pits 
are found not only bodies of human beings, but also of dogs, cats, 
apes, crocodiles, ibises, sheep and other animals. 



148 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 

This was associated with their religions beliefs, for they thought 
the soul, after completing its cycle of separate existence, extending 
through several thousand years, again returned to the body, and 
if that were found decayed or wasted, the soul transmigrated. 

It was not for their love of having their specimens look natural 
and life-like, but for the reason of their superstitious belief, that 
their spirits, would, in course of time, return to their bodies, and 
they would again live with their cats and dogs as before the spirit 
left the body. 

Embalming is simply a means of preservation. It is a separate 
art, and cannot, strictly speaking, come under the head of taxi- 
dermy, while taxidermy proper attempts to reproduce the forms, 
attitudes, and expression of animals as they appear in life. 

The First Attempt to Stuff Birds, it is told, was when the Hol- 
landers in the early part of the sixteenth century began their com- 
mercial intercourse with the East Indies. 

A nobleman brought back to Amsterdam a large collection of 
tropical birds and placed them in an aviary, which was heated to 
the proper temperature by a furnace. It happened that the at- 
tendant one night before retiring carelessly left the door of the 
furnace open, thereby allowing the smoke to escape, which suf- 
focated the birds. 

The nobleman beholding the destruction of his large collection, 
which was the pride of the city, began to devise means for the 
preservation of the dead birds. To this end the best chemists of 
Amsterdam were called in for consultation, and it was decided 
to skin the birds and fill their skins with the spices of the Indies 
for their preservation. This was done and they were then wired 
and mounted to represent life. For many years they were the hobby 
of the nobleman, and the pride of the inhabitants. 

But with these few very faint and unsatisfactory glimpses we 
have taken of the art, through the dark corridors of time, we 
must leave its past history to the oblivion that surrounds it and 
look at the attempts of more modern times. 

We know that examples of taxidermy decorated the dens of 
astrologers and the shops of apothecaries in the middle ages. 

In Recent Years, as in the past, those in the humbler walks of 
life have likewise cherished a love for the preservation of the 
objects of animated nature, and in their lowly chambers may often 
be found specimens of taxidermic handiwork of great beauty and 
rarity. We might recall many significant instances of individuals 
whose whole love for objects from the field of nature, through 
modest personal efforts established a nucleus which formed the

basis of some of the great museums of the world. The existing 
literature on the subject of taxidermy which has been published 
from time to time throws' considerable light upon its progress. 

So far as my investigation goes, I have not been able to trace 
any writings on the subject of taxidermy any farther back than 
two hundred years. The oldest work that I have seen is a "Nat- 
ural History," published at Paris by the Royal Academy in 1687, 
on the dissection of various animals. In this work mention is 
made of the fact that the Hollanders were the first to bring into 
Europe ilive specimens and skins of the cassowary and a number of 
other strange birds which they secured on their first voyages to the 
Indian Archipelago. These were stuffed at Amsterdam. 

Reaumur in 1847 published a memoir of the methods of pre- 
serving skins of birds to be sent into distant countries. He received 
birds from all parts in spirits of wine, according to the instructions 
he had given, and formed a beautiful cabinet of natural history in 
in his own house which, after his death, became the basis of the 
collection of birds in the Museum of 'Paris. 

In 1752 M. B. Stollas issued at Paris a work entitled "Instruc- 
tions on the Manner of Preparing Objects of Natural History." 
Some of the most ingenious devices for the mounting of birds and 
quadrupeds are given in this work. 

The same year appeared H. L. Duhamel's work of similar title. 
E. F. Turgot appears to be the author of a work on taxidermy, 
which was issued at Lyons in 1758. The methods of skinning and 
mounting birds and small quadrupeds, described and illustrated in 
this work, are not the best by any means, while those for mount- 
ing reptiles, fishes and crustaceans are far better than some of the 
methods employed at the present day. 

In 1786 the Abbe Manesse published a volume under the title 
of "Treatise on the Manner of Stuffing and Preserving Animals 
and Skins." He presented his work to the Academy of Sciences 
at Paris. It contained some very useful advice in the mounting of 
birds, but the excluding of poisons and the adopting of alkalies 
for the preservation of skins proved a failure in his day and is not 
admissible to modern taxidermy. 

About this time an old German sculptor living at Lahaye de- 
voted himself to the practice of taxidermy, and in a short time sur- 
passed all those who had employed themselves in the mounting of 
animals. He excelled in the mounting of large mammals. 

Becoeur, of Metz, who first compounded the well-known pre- 
servative, arsenical soap, mounted birds and quadrupeds by re- 
placing the skeleton back in their skins. The muscles being re-

moved from the bones, which were allowed to remain attached to 
their ligaments, he replaced the flesh with flax or cotton, wired the 
legs and vertebral column, sewed up the opening in the skin, 
placed the specimen on its stand, gave it a suitable position and 
then put on the finishing touches. 

It is recorded that his work was skillfully done and the attitudes 
of his subjects were natural, because with the skeleton he could 
not go far wrong. 

A German work, issued at Leipsic in 1788, contains some rather 
unusual methods of mounting birds and mammals. Prof. J. S. 
Wiley in 1855 published a fifty-five page pamphlet, entitled: "The 
Preservation and Preparation of Objects of Natural History." It 
is one of the best and most thorough treatises on the subject that 
has ever been published. His manner of collecting and preparing 
fishes and reptiles is of the best kind. 

One, by Dr. W. Shilling, published at Weimar in 1860-61, in 
three volumes, is one of the best foreign works with which I have 
met. 

Philipp Leopold Martin, in 1870, published at Weimar a most 
creditable and complete exposition of the art. A book by H. T. 
Race, published in 1842, contains old methods of mounting birds 
and mammals, in which the methods of preservation are not at all 
reliable. A -little work of twenty-nine pages, by S. H. Sylvester, 
published in this country in 1865, is a most practical work as far 
as it goes. 

It makes little difference, however, what method a man employs 
if, by their means, he attains in a satisfactory manner the ends in 
view; but of all the above mentioned works, Martin seems to be 
the only author who has a proper knowledge of the uses of clay 
in taxidermy. 

In fact, it is difficult to comprehend how the old taxidermists 
managed to make the heads and faces of large, and also some of 
the smaller mammals look natural without its use or something 
equivalent to it. It would be difficult, indeed, without something 
of a plastic nature, to reproduce the exact character of the lips and 
faces of mammals, the faces and fingers of monkeys, etc. 

It is true that Neumann in 181 5 advocates the use of clay in 
birds, by making a stout wire frame, which he filled with soft 
clay and allowed it to dry, thus producing a piece of work of 
great weight. 

The Proper Use of Clay in Taxidermy is well known at the 
present day. It can be moulded into any shape desired, and will 
forever retain the form given it, and an experienced hand by its 
use can reproduce all the wrinkles, hollows and elevations that

are characteristic in the expression of any animal. This part of 
the art requires the delicate touch which characterizes the hand 
of the true sculptor when the image in his brain is first created in 
clay. In fact, he who would attain a high standard in the advanced 
branch of taxidermy must be in one sense of the word a sculptor.

Tips For Anglers 




Be Sure To Eat. — Don't start out in the morning until you have 
had a good breakfast. 

Keep Minnows Alive.— Aerate the water with a rubber tube and 
air bulb; a little salt is very good; the best way is to change the 
water as often as possible. 

Fine Bait For Bass. — Red eye chubs, shinners, live grasshop- 
pers, small green frogs and top water minnows. 

Fishing on the Bottom. — Find the depth, then. act accordingly. 

Good Way to Attract Fish. — Take a glass jar or clear bottle, 
place a dozen or so of fine minnows in it, cork it up, suspend them 
m a likely spot where the bottle is out of sight. The imprisoned 
fish will attract others in that vicinity. 

Fishing With Frogs. — Use the small ones ; pass the hook through 
both lips. 

Trout Fishing at Night. — Select a good place near a deep hole, 
cut a few branches and group them around so as to hide yourself ; 
do this in the daytime. Some big trout are caught at night ; they 
are not so timid in the night time. 

Don't Fry Bass or Trout. — Broiling is the proper way to serve 
fish over the camp fire. Don't forget this. 

Spawning Season for Fishing. — It is no time to fish ; wait till 
they are through ; then they will take most anything offered them. 

Some Fine Fish are often caught in the most unlikely waters. 
Fish every foot of water. 



WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 158 

' If Your Line is in a tangle patience will untie it. Don't get 
rattled. - . 

Always Have the best tackle that you can buy; it's cheapest in 
the end. First-class fishing will result if you have the proper tools. 

When Fishing With Frogs the best way is to keep a frog on the 
go, moving all the time. 

A Few Good Bass Flies. — Miller, Hackle, Silver Doctor, Mon- 
treal Coachman, Seth Green, Ferguson, Lord Baltimore, Red Ibes. 

Good Flies for Trout in June. — Light colored duns and spin- 
ners,. Green Drake, Grey Drake, Black Gnat, White and Brown 
Moths. 

Scratches or Wounds. — Put a chew of tobacco around it and 
bind in on. Wash or suck them well. A little common salt is 
also good. 

Don't Cast a Shadow. — Get behind a tree, bank, or cut a few 
branches; hide yourself behind them, especially in fishing for 
trout. 

Fat Pork is very killing bait in some waters. Cut shape of min- 
now, and keep it moving. 

If Your Clothes Are Wet keep moving ; don't lie down. There 
is no danger of a chill if you keep on the go. 

When You Kill Fish. — A sharp hit between the eyes with a 
stick or knife handle; then a small incision in the tail to bleed 
them. Never let them die ; the flesh is not so good. 

Carry a File. — You will always have use for one to sharpen your 
hooks. A sharp hook is very essential. 

Bright Spoons are the proper caper; to clean them use wood 
ashes ; polish with a dry rag ; plenty of rubbing. 

To Catch Frogs. — A hook and short line, with a small piece of 
red or scarlet rag ; keep out of sight ; dangle over his head. He is 
yours if you are lucky. 

Take Your Wife along when you go fishing. She can catch 
fish — she caught you. No reflection. Sucker. 

Water Snakes eat little fish and millions of eggs. Kill them 
every chance you get. 

To Bait a Trout Hole. — Suspend fly-blown meat or a dead bird 
or animal ; the maggots falling in the water will attract fish to that 
place. 

Good Oil for Reels. — Three-in-One oil. 

Dark Days are the best for fishing. 

In Fishing for Bass. — Cast to the edge of lily pads, weeds, rocks, 
rushes and sunken logs. 

To Clean Utensils.— Use sand and hot water, scouring hard. 



154 WORLD'S FAIR HANDY GUIDE. 

To Catch Frogs at Night. — Take a bull's-eye lantern ; turn light 
on him squarely. It dazzles him, and you can pick him up like 
a stone. 

A Few "Useful Articles. — A stick of angler's wax, a few swivels, 
small file, pliers, a spool of silk, clearing ring, a line dryer, Three- 
in-One oil. You will find use for one of these every time you take 
a trip. 

Don't Strike Hard. — Approach likely waters carefully. If you 
get a strike and miss your fish, give him a little rest before casting 
to him again. When he takes your bait give him time. When you 
feel him strike him with a quick movement of the wrist; not too 
hard. 

To Keep Fish Alive. — Use a fishnet bag in handling fish ; never 
touch the gills. 

To Attract Minnows. — Throw bread or bones in shallow water. 
It keeps them hovering around it. 

In Fly Fishing keep your eyes open and see what they are 
taking, and imitate it. Open the first fish you catch. See what 
they are feeding on. 

For Trolling. — Close to the edge of rushes, lily pads and the 
bank. Morning, evening and after dark is the best time. 

West and South Winds are the best for fishing. When the wind 
is in the west the fish bite the best is an old saying. 

In Fishing for Trout. — If they refuse to rise to the fly try a 
lively grasshopper. Get behind a tree or rock; drop it in gently 
and move it on the surface as if alive. If they are there you will 
have some sport. 

Weigh Your Fish as soon as caught, as they lose weight very 
fast. 

In Fly Casting aim for perfection and not distance. 

To Keep Fish. — Don't wash them, simply draw and wipe dry ; 
wrap in cloth or .paper ; hang in shade. Be sure no flies can get to 
them. 

Drying Lines. — Be sure to unreel when you get through. 
Never leave a wet line over night on your reel. 

Dye Your Leaders. — Immerse for five minutes in strong tea 
or take one drachm of logwood, six grains of copperas ; boil in one 
pint of water ; place leaders in until correct color is obtained. 

Port and Starboard. — Starboard, to the right side. Port is the 
left-hand side of a boat looking forward. Amidships, center of 
boat. 

Size of Line. — In stream fishing, G or H; for lake fishing, 
F or G.

Rod for Bait Fishing. — Six to ten feet long, five to ten ounces. 

Rod for Fly Fishing. — Seven to eleven feet long, four to eight 
ounces. 

Rod for Trolling. — Six to nine feet long, ten ounces or more. 

Black Bass as a rule run in pairs in the summer months. If 
you catch one look out for his companion, s 

Trolling for Bass,— Row only to keep good motion of your bait ; 
row slowly, about three miles an hour. Make it swerve or spurt; 
so much the better. 

Cork Handles are softer and cooler to the hands. . 

Fish Don't Bite always to satisfy hunger; they often strike for 
pure viciousness or greediness. 

Hide From View.- — I have seen a dozen fish leap to take the fly, 
but the moment they saw me they refused everything. A few 
hours later I took care to hide myself, and caught a nice mess. 

A Fine Bait for Trout are live maggots, taken from meat that 
is fly-blown. Anglers will do well not to despise the hitherto con- 
sidered repulsive maggot. If kept in a small box with cornmeal, 
there is no more objection in handling them than the worm or any 
other slimy bait. 

Dry Your Flies by sticking them under your hat band, or 
around it. A few dozen can be accommodated thus. 

Don't Kick when the fish don't bite. Perhaps you are to 
blame. Think it over. 

Hard Places to fish are just the places the fish are to be found. 

After Hard Rains fish often fail to bite because food in plenty 
has been washed into the waters. 

Fish Bite better between the new moon and first quarter. 

Field Mice make fine bait for large trout and bass. 

On Dark Days use bright flies ; bright days, dark flies. 

A Kinky Line can be unraveled by towing it behind a boat or 
trailing in fast running water. 

Raw Liver is fine bait in the spring for trout, especially hog's 
liver. 

Assafoetida is said to attract fish by its scent. 

When Bass refuse to rise to the surface for a fly, try sinking 
it a foot below the surface. 

Shakespeare. — Sure lure weedless bait for bass fishing. 

Fly Fishing. — Have the wind at your back, the sun before you, 
and do not let vour line touch the water that's the place for vour 
fly. 

Good Bait for Bass. — Helgramite — find them in brooks and rivers 
under large stones.
